Amazon Bedrock expanded Anthropic Claude availability with local data processing in Asia Pacific: India via geographic cross-Region inference (Mumbai and Hyderabad), and in-region inference for Claude Opus 5 and Sonnet 5 in Seoul plus Sonnet 5 in Singapore. The launches let regulated customers in finance, healthcare, and the public sector meet data residency requirements while using Anthropic's newest models.
Anthropic released Claude Sonnet 5.5, the second model in the Claude 5.5 family, positioning it as a faster, lower-cost complement to Opus 5.5 for well-scoped coding and knowledge work. The company says it runs over 30% faster than Sonnet 5 and effectively costs up to 30% less per task despite identical per-token pricing, and it is the first Sonnet subject to the cybersecurity safeguards applied to Anthropic's most capable models. It is available everywhere, including Amazon Bedrock, and Haiku 5.5 is expected in the coming weeks.

A US-headquartered global organization required Claude Code on Amazon Bedrock to process all inference in London (eu-west-2), not just be called from there. The team tried Anthropic's Mantle endpoint first but hit a limitation, then fell back to an alternative approach. The post details how they achieved single-Region data residency for Claude Code.

Anthropic introduced Claude apps gateway, a self-hosted governance layer for Claude Code and Claude Desktop on AWS, providing centralized controls over authentication, model access, cost attribution, and spend enforcement. It integrates with Amazon Bedrock and Claude Platform on AWS, reducing operational overhead for enterprise administrators.

Anthropic experienced a series of service disruptions from August 12–20, 2026, affecting Claude API, Claude Code, Claude Cowork, and multiple models including Opus 5, Fable 5, Mythos 5, and Sonnet 5. Incidents ranged from elevated errors to full service disruption, with fixes deployed and monitoring ongoing. All incidents were resolved by August 20.

Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5.1 on September 1, 2026, positioning it as frontier intelligence for coding, scientific research, and enterprise workflows. The model is available via Claude Code, the Claude Platform (claude-fable-5-1), Amazon Bedrock, and GitHub Copilot. Anthropic designated it a Covered Model with added safety and data-retention policies, and published a prompting guide plus an updated claude-api skill for migration.
