Cause (Documented platform behavior): v1 removed the warning-and-fallback to us-east-1; region is now required.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Also in v1: unknown Bedrock streaming events (e.g. amazon-bedrock-invocationMetrics) are skipped.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python/main/MIGRATION.md (official_docs, 2026-08-20, documented_behavior): 'Bedrock: a region is now required' section describes the removed us-east-1 fallback and region resolution order.
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python/main/src/anthropic/lib/bedrock/_client.py (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Contains the exact ValueError text.
Search phrasings: AnthropicBedrock no aws region was provided; anthropic bedrock client region required v1
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
