Verify Model Access

Overview

According to AWS’s new policy, Foundation Models are often automatically enabled. However, for third-party partner models like Anthropic (Claude), first-time users in a new Region must declare usage information (Use Case) to be able to invoke the model.

Ensure your AWS account has permission to access and use the Anthropic Claude 3 Sonnet model. This is a mandatory step to avoid AccessDenied errors when the Chatbot operates later. If this is the first time you are using this model in a new Region, you need to declare the intended use (Use Case).
