Our take
Amazon Bedrock is an enterprise-grade cloud service for running language models with strong compliance credentials and a broad catalogue spanning six model families. It offers verified SOC 2, EU-region hosting, zero-retention, and measured throughput data on most of its 53 tracked offers.
Use this for regulated workloads that need independent security attestation, zero-retention, and EU data residency. Pick it for high-throughput lightweight models or for multi-model strategies from a single contract. Skip it if you need published benchmark scores to compare quality, or if your workload requires consistent throughput guarantees.
- Strongest compliance posture in this data set: SOC 2, zero-retention, no training on prompts, and EU endpoint all verified.
- Cheapest first-party model entry point — Amazon Nova Micro undercuts Nova Lite, Claude 3 Haiku, and GPT-5-6 Luna on input cost.
- Highest measured throughput for lightweight models: one run on GPT-OSS Safeguard 20B reached 384 TPS, nearly twice the next-best run in this set.
- Broad model family coverage — 53 offers across Amazon Nova, OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, Meta Llama, and Qwen.
- Throughput varies widely between measured runs on identical configurations: Nova Lite swings 3.2×, GPT-OSS Safeguard 20B swings 4.4×.
- Missing throughput data on some offers — Qwen3 Coder 30B is unverified in our data.
- No benchmark scores disclosed for any of the 53 offers — quality comparisons are unavailable.
