AWS-hosted models
Last updated 2026-06-14
Definition
AWS-hosted models let Quri run the same Claude models through your AWS account instead of a direct API key. You get IAM-based access, unified AWS billing and data residency in your region, with no change to the answers chat gives. It is an opt-in host swap — the direct path stays the default.
How to do this in Quri
- Use Quri chat in /app/chat as usual — the model host is transparent to you.
- Keep the default direct path, or have your operator switch hosting to AWS for governance.
- On AWS, models authenticate by an IAM role instead of a loose API key.
- Review model usage in your unified AWS bill, with requests staying in your chosen region.
Frequently asked
- Does AWS hosting change the answers I get?
- No. It runs the same Claude models, so quality is unchanged. What changes is auth, billing and residency — IAM access, one AWS bill, and your region.
- Is this Amazon Bedrock?
- No. It is Anthropic's native platform on AWS, so you keep direct access to the latest models, with AWS IAM auth and billing rather than a separate API key.
