There was another thread where some people pointed out, Amazon will give you access to Claude with better uptime for the same price (per million tokens up / down), downside is, it does not have the native ability to browse the web, but maybe that's a hidden blessing, since it's less likely to read some random website that has prompt injection embedded into it.

For coding its fine, I havent experimented too much with Amazon Bedrock myself, but I just might soon to check for any limitations.

Maybe the best play is to set up a routing system locally so that when claude.ai is down it automatically switches to Amazon billing and switches back when it comes back up
I’m pretty sure it has the ability to browse the web.

It can use playwright, web fetch, etc…

I use bedrock at work and Claude subscription at home. They are pretty much exactly the same in my experience

Or do you mean the Claude in chrome plugin? Bedrock doesn’t have that, but in my experience it doesn’t work that well.

Neither does the Claude managed agents or ultra plan.

They likely refer to "WebSearch", not "WebFetch" (and the original statement is not correct).
But that's just paying per use right, not with the subscription which is way better value
Correct, but in the case that they brought it up, their employer was on a enterprise license, which is still pay per token. The subscription will eventually go away in some way, or cost way more than it does.
