Overview
- Anthropic launched in‑country inference on Monday, routing Claude requests sent to an India endpoint to servers physically located within India.
- Claude Opus 5, Sonnet 5 and Haiku 4.5 are listed as available for local inference through Amazon Bedrock, which supplies the regional infrastructure and controls.
- Deployments through Bedrock include access logs and audit trails designed to meet data‑residency and compliance checks used by risk teams.
- Early private‑preview tests involved Reliance, CRED and NPCI, and major IT services firms such as TCS and Infosys are rolling Claude into large internal programs.
- Anthropic has reinforced its India push with a Bengaluru office, a partner network and certification efforts to convert regulated pilots into production use cases.
