[DOCS] Amazon Bedrock guide shows `global.*` model ID despite region-prefix guidance

4. Pin model versions → “To customize models further” Bedrock inference profile example for ANTHROPIC_MODEL

Current Documentation

The page currently says:

These variables use cross-region inference profile IDs (with the us. prefix). If you use a different region prefix or application inference profiles, adjust accordingly. ``bash # Using inference profile ID export ANTHROPIC_MODEL='global.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6' export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL='us.anthropic.claude-haiku-4-5-20251001-v1:0' ``

What's Wrong or Missing?

This example contradicts the page’s own guidance and the rest of the Bedrock documentation, which describe Bedrock model IDs as region-prefixed values such as us.anthropic....

That now looks outdated relative to the Claude Code v2.1.128 changelog entry: “Fixed Bedrock default model resolving to global.* instead of the region-appropriate prefix”. Leaving global.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6 in the setup example can cause users to copy a model ID that does not match the documented Bedrock region-prefix format.

Suggested Improvement

Replace the global.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6 example with a region-prefixed example that matches the rest of the Bedrock docs.

Before:

export ANTHROPIC_MODEL='global.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6'

After:

export ANTHROPIC_MODEL='us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6'

If global.* is still valid for a specific Bedrock path, add a short note that explains exactly when global. is appropriate versus when users should supply us., eu., or apac. IDs.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
