For more information about the available APIs and endpoints, see [APIs supported](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/apis.html) and [Endpoints supported](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/endpoints.html). | **Endpoint** | **Model ID** | **In-Region endpoint URL** | **Geo inference ID** | **Global inference ID** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | bedrock-runtime | amazon.nova-sonic-v1:0 | https://bedrock-runtime.{region}.amazonaws.com | Not supported | Not supported | *For example, if region is us-east-1 (N. Virginia), then the bedrock-runtime endpoint URL will be "https://bedrock-runtime.us-east-1.amazonaws.com" and for bedrock-mantle will be "https://bedrock-mantle.us-east-1.api.aws/v1".* ## Service Tiers Amazon Bedrock offers multiple service tiers to match your workload requirements. **Standard** provides pay-per-token access with no commitment. **Priority** offers higher throughput with a time-based commitment. **Flex** provides lower-cost access for flexible, non-time-sensitive workloads. **Reserved** provides dedicated throughput with a term commitment for predictable workloads. For more information, see [service tiers](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/service-tiers-inference.html). | **Standard** | **Priority** | **Flex** | **Reserved** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ![Green circle with white checkmark icon.](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/images/icons/icon-yes.png) | ![Red circle with white X icon indicating error, cancel, or close action.](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/images/icons/icon-no.png) | ![Red circle with white X icon indicating error, cancel, or close action.](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/images/icons/icon-no.png) | ![Red circle with white X icon indicating error, cancel, or close action.](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/images/icons/icon-no.png) | ## Regional Availability ***Regional availability at a glance*** Bedrock offers three inference options: **In-Region** keeps requests within a single Region for strict compliance, **Geo Cross-Region** routes across Regions within a geography (US, EU, etc.) for higher throughput while respecting data residency, and **Global Cross-Region** routes anywhere worldwide for maximum throughput when there are no residency constraints. Refer to the [Regional availability](models-region-compatibility.md) page for more details. | **Region** | **In-Region** | **Geo** | **Global** | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | us-east-1 (N.

The default quotas assigned to an account might be updated depending on regional factors, payment history, fraudulent usage, and/or approval of a quota [increase request](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/quotas-increase.html). For more details, please refer to [Quotas for Amazon Bedrock](quotas.md) documentation and see the [limits](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/bedrock.html#limits_bedrock) for the model. ## Sample Code **Step 1 - AWS Account:** If you have an AWS account already, skip this step. If you are new to AWS, sign up for an [AWS account](https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup). **Step 2 - API key:** Go to the [Amazon Bedrock console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/home#/api-keys/long-term/create) and generate a long-term API key. **Step 3 - Get the SDK:** ``` pip install boto3 ``` **Step 4 - Set environment variables:** ``` AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK="" ``` **Step 5 - Run your first inference request:** This model uses `InvokeModelWithBidirectionalStream`. See [API reference](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_runtime_InvokeModelWithBidirectionalStream.html) for details.
