I’m in Sydney this week for the AWS Summit Sydney and I’ve just been left with much excitement after a MASSIVE announcement.
This must be one of the year's most anticipated announcements (in our region).  I’ve had customers ask me every other week when this is happening.  I can now say… TODAY rather than SOON. 
I can practically hear you all leaning forward, eager to know what it is. Well, hold onto your seats because here it is: AWS Bedrock has officially landed in Sydney (ap-southeast-02)!
That’s right!  AWS Bedrock is now available in Sydney (ap-southeast-02)
What does this mean for us Aussies? Lower latency for our Gen AI Workloads and the ability to respect data sovereignty. 
Available immediately (by request) are the following selection models:
  • Amazon
    • Titan Text G1 - Lite
    • Titan Text G1 - Express
    • Titan Multimodal Embeddings G1
  • Anthropic
    • Claude 3 Sonnet
    • Claude 3 Haiku
  • Cohere
    • Embed English
    • Embed Multilingual
  • Mistral AI
    • Mistral 7B Instruct
    • Mixtral 8x7B Instruct
    • Mistral Large
So, what are we waiting for? Let's dive in and start building something amazing right here in our local Sydney region!
In fact, first thing today I asked Claude 3, in Sydney, to give me a Haiku, in celebration of its launch in Sydney.
Write me a Haiku about being an LLM hosted in Sydney:
Artificial mind
Housed in Sydney's bustling heart
Serve humans with grace
