Citations API and PDF support for Claude models now in Amazon Bedrock

Amazon Bedrock introduces Citations API and PDF support for Anthropic’s Claude Models that empower developers to build more trustworthy AI applications and expand document processing capabilities. The Citations API allows Claude to ground its answers in source documents, providing detailed references to the exact sentences and passages used to generate responses. This leads to more verifiable and trustworthy outputs, crucial for applications requiring high accuracy and transparency.

With the new Citations API, developers can enhance the reliability of their AI-powered applications. This feature is particularly valuable in fields such as legal research, academic writing, and fact-checking, where the ability to trace information back to its source is critical. PDF support for Claude further extends Amazon Bedrock's capabilities, allowing users to extract text, analyze charts, and understand visual content from PDF documents. This comprehensive document analysis enables more efficient processing of complex documents, making it easier for businesses to derive insights from their existing PDF libraries.

The Citations API and PDF support for Claude are available for Claude Opus 4, Claude Sonnet 4, Claude Sonnet 3.7, Claude Sonnet 3.5v2. The functionality will be available in all regions where these models are supported. These features can be accessed through Amazon Bedrock’s Invoke Model and Converse APIs, allowing for seamless integration into existing workflows and applications.
