Data residency - Claude Platform on AWS

Data residency

Claude Platform on AWS supports the following inference geographies:

  • US: Inference stays within US data centers. A 1.1x pricing multiplier applies.

  • Global: Inference may route to any Anthropic-operated data center worldwide. Standard pricing applies.

Set the inference geography per request with the inference_geo parameter:

Note

The inference_geo parameter is supported on Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and later models. Requests with inference_geo on Claude Opus 4.5, Claude Sonnet 4.5, or Claude Haiku 4.5 return a 400 error. See Data residency for model availability details.

puts message

If you omit inference_geo, the request defaults to global.

Workspace-level inference geography controls (allowed_inference_geos and default_inference_geo) are not available on Claude Platform on AWS. Set inference_geo on each request instead.
