Amazon Bedrock Custom Models / Fine-Tuning
Amazon Web ServicesManaged fine-tuning for Anthropic Claude 3 Haiku, Meta Llama, Cohere Command, Amazon Titan, and Amazon Nova models inside Bedrock, the only fully managed service offering fine-tuning of Claude weights. Picked when teams are already on AWS and need governance, VPC isolation, and Provisioned Throughput serving for the resulting custom model. GA since mid-2024; usage requires Provisioned Throughput commitment for inference.
Amazon Bedrock model customization (docs live June 2026). Methods: supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement fine-tuning (Lambda-defined reward functions), and distillation. Customizes Bedrock foundation models. Proprietary managed AWS service.

Capability
3 medium confidenceSolid managed method set (SFT + RFT + distillation), but a black-box service with no exposed parallelism/precision/scale controls and no benchmark basis. Scored 3: capable managed FT across a model catalog, below the RFT-on-frontier-reasoning depth of the OpenAI/Vertex offerings and far below the OSS scale-frontier libs.
