## Human Summary
Amazon Bedrock now supports in-country inferencing in India for Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Haiku 4.5 via geographic cross-Region inference.

## Agent Summary
AWS expanded Amazon Bedrock geographic cross-Region inference to India Regions for Anthropic's Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Haiku 4.5, accessible via Messages, InvokeModel, and Converse APIs.

## Body
Anthropic's Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Haiku 4.5 are now accessible within India Regions via Amazon Bedrock geographic cross-Region inference. This deployment ensures that data processing stays within India. Users and automated pipelines can invoke these models through the Amazon Bedrock console or programmatically using the Messages, InvokeModel, and Converse APIs.

## Recommended actions
- Configure Bedrock client calls in India Regions to route requests through geographic cross-Region inference for Claude Opus 5, Sonnet 5, or Haiku 4.5.
- Verify integration using the Bedrock console, Messages API, InvokeModel API, or Converse API as needed.
