Cause (Documented platform behavior): Auto detection checks the model id string for 'claude'/'anthropic'; application profile ARNs carry no model name, so detection returns None and caching is skipped.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Same class of problem affects other frameworks that infer features from model id strings (e.g. Vercel AI SDK fixes d82eac2/051a41d for application inference profile ARNs).

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- No cache writes/reads and higher cost when the model is an application inference profile ARN; only a warning is logged.
- Context
- Product: Strands Agents SDK Component: BedrockModel CacheConfig(strategy='auto') Operation: BedrockModel(model_id='arn:aws:bedrock:...:application-inference-profile/...', cache_config=CacheConfig(strategy='auto')) Affected versions: unknown Environment: Strands Agents (Python/TypeScript) on Amazon Bedrock Trigger: Using an application inference profile ARN (opaque id) with strategy='auto'.

Proposed fix: [Strands Agents BedrockModel] Prompt caching silently skipped for application inference profile ARNs — 'model_id=<arn> | cache_config is enabled but this model does not support automatic
Recommended action: Use CacheConfig(strategy='anthropic') explicitly for ARN-based profiles of Claude models.
Option: Set the caching strategy explicitly [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. CacheConfig(strategy='anthropic') for Claude-backed application profiles.
Expected: Cache points are inserted; cacheRead/Write tokens appear in usage.
