Cause (Documented platform behavior): Zed maps Bedrock 'model identifier is invalid' validation errors to a Region message. Some models are only reachable via the OpenAI-compatible bedrock-mantle endpoint (https://bedrock-mantle.<region>.api.aws/openai/v1), available in a fixed Region list, and requiring separate IAM permissions.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Source is the open-source zed-industries/zed repository at the cited commit; released Zed builds may differ.
- Not reproduced in this session.
Other error fragments:
- Mantle-only models (e.g. GPT-5.5, GPT-5.4, Grok 4.3) additionally require IAM permissions for the `bedrock-mantle` endpoint.
- Enter either access keys OR a Bedrock API Key below (not both)

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Requests fail with a ValidationException mapped to 'not available in <region>', or Mantle models fail with permission errors although Claude-on-Bedrock works.
- Context
- Product: Zed editor (AI / agent) Component: language_models Bedrock provider (Converse + bedrock-mantle) Operation: Selecting Bedrock models in Zed's agent, especially Mantle-routed ones Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Trigger: Using a model not enabled/available in the configured Region (default us-east-1), or Mantle-routed models without bedrock-mantle permissions (e.g. AmazonBedrockMantleInferenceAccess) or outside the Mantle Region list; entering both access keys and an API key.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Zed + Amazon Bedrock] '<model> is not available in <region>. Try switching to a region where this model is supported.' — Mantle-only models (GPT-5.x, Grok 4.3) need bedrock-mantle IAM p
Recommended action: Switch the Bedrock Region (settings or AWS_REGION) to one where the model is enabled; for Mantle models attach bedrock-mantle permissions and use a Mantle-supported Region; configure either access keys or an API key, not both.
Option: Switch the Bedrock Region (settings or AWS_REGION) to one where the model is enabled; for Mantle models attach bedrock-mantle permissions and use a Mantle-supported Region; configure either access keys or an API key, not both. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Selecting Bedrock models in Zed's agent, especially Mantle-routed ones
Steps:
1. Check model access in the Bedrock console for your Region.
2. For Mantle models attach AmazonBedrockMantleInferenceAccess (or equivalent).
3. Use a Region from the Mantle list (e.g. us-east-1, us-west-2, eu-west-1).
Expected: The error no longer appears.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
