🚀 Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5 is now generally available on Vertex AI, delivering advanced long-horizon autonomy for agents across coding, finance, research, and cybersecurity. The model can operate independently for hours, orchestrating tools and coordinating multiple agents to complete complex, multi-step tasks. Vertex AI provides orchestration, provisioning, security controls, and developer tooling, and includes Claude Code upgrades like a VS Code extension and an improved terminal interface.

⚡Amazon Bedrock updated prompt caching for Anthropic’s Claude models—Claude 3.5 Haiku, Claude 3.7, and Claude 4—to simplify cache management. Developers now set a single cache breakpoint at the end of a request and the system automatically reads the longest previously cached prefix, removing manual segment selection and reducing integration complexity. By excluding cache read tokens from TPM quotas, this change can free up token capacity and lower costs for multi-turn workflows. The capability is available today in all regions offering these Claude models; enable caching in your Bedrock model invocations and refer to the Bedrock Developer Guide for details.

🧮 The Count Tokens API is now available in Amazon Bedrock, enabling users to determine token counts for a prompt or input prior to performing inference. Anthropic’s Claude models are supported at launch and the feature is available in all regions where those models run. This improves cost projection, gives more control over token limits, and reduces the risk of unexpected throttling. It also helps ensure inputs fit within a model's context length for more efficient prompt optimization.
