Amazon Bedrock

Aider can connect to models provided by Amazon Bedrock. You will need to have an AWS account with access to the Bedrock service.

To configure Aider to use the Amazon Bedrock API, you need to set up your AWS credentials. This can be done using the AWS CLI or by setting environment variables.

AWS CLI Configuration

If you haven’t already, install the AWS CLI and configure it with your credentials:

aws configure

This will prompt you to enter your AWS Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, and default region.

Environment Variables

Alternatively, you can set the following environment variables:

export AWS_REGION=your_preferred_region

# For user authentication
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_access_key
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_key

# For profile authentication
export AWS_PROFILE=your-profile

You can add these to your .env file.

Bedrock with pipx installation

The AWS Bedrock provider requires the boto3 package in order to function correctly. To use aider installed via pipx with AWS Bedrock, you must add the boto3 dependency to aider’s virtual environment by running

pipx inject aider boto3

Running Aider with Bedrock

Once your AWS credentials are set up, you can run Aider with the --model command line switch, specifying the Bedrock model you want to use:

aider --model bedrock/anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0

Available Models

To see some models available via Bedrock, run:

aider --list-models bedrock/

Make sure you have access to these models in your AWS account before attempting to use them with Aider.
