The Anthropic Console is where developers build with Claude. Features include the Workbench for prompt engineering, evaluation tools for testing outputs, and API key management. The prompt caching and batch API features reduce costs significantly.
Reviewer scorecard
“Claude on Bedrock with VPC endpoints and IAM auth is the enterprise standard. Knowledge Bases for RAG are production-ready.”
“The Workbench is the best prompt engineering environment available. Test prompts, compare models, and see token counts in real-time. Essential for any Claude API project.”
“If you're on AWS, Bedrock is the obvious choice. Cross-model compatibility and guardrails reduce risk.”
“Clean, functional, does what it needs to. The evaluation tools are underrated — most developers ship prompts without testing. This makes testing easy.”
“AWS's distribution advantage means Bedrock will be how most enterprises consume AI models.”
“Anthropic is building the developer platform, not just the model. Console + Claude Code + Agent SDK — they want developers building on Claude, not just chatting with it.”
