This template uses [Boto3](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/index.html), the AWS SDK for Python, to call [Amazon Bedrock](https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/). You **must** configure both AWS credentials *and* an AWS Region in order to make requests.
> For information on how to do this, see [AWS Boto3 documentation](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html) (Developer Guide > Credentials).
### Foundation Models
By default, this template uses [Anthropic's Claude v2](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2023/08/claude-2-foundation-model-anthropic-amazon-bedrock/) (`anthropic.claude-v2`).
> To request access to a specific model, check out the [Amazon Bedrock User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-access.html) (Model access)
To use a different model, set the environment variable `BEDROCK_JCVD_MODEL_ID`. A list of base models is available in the [Amazon Bedrock User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-ids-arns.html) (Use the API > API operations > Run inference > Base Model IDs).
> The full list of available models (including base and [custom models](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/custom-models.html)) is available in the [Amazon Bedrock Console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/using-console.html) under **Foundation Models** or by calling [`aws bedrock list-foundation-models`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/bedrock/list-foundation-models.html).
## Usage

```
If you want to add this to an existing project, you can just run:
