Claude Platform on AWS is now generally available, letting customers use Anthropic’s APIs, console and beta features through existing AWS accounts without separate billing or account management.
AWS said the service is operated by Anthropic, with customer data processed outside the AWS security boundary, clarifying how the integration works despite the single-account access.
EC2 M3 Ultra Mac instances also debuted, built on Apple Mac Studio hardware with a 28-core CPU, 60-core GPU, 32-core Neural Engine and 256GB unified memory.
Those instances offer 2x the memory and Neural Engine cores of EC2 M4 Max Mac, plus 1.75x CPU cores and 1.5x GPU cores, aimed at heavier Xcode simulator and on-device ML workloads.
The launches were part of a broader AWS product wave that also included Redshift RG instances up to 2.4x faster at 30% lower price per vCPU, Bedrock prompt optimization and new security and multicloud tools.
