“If you're on AWS, Bedrock is the obvious choice. Cross-model compatibility and guardrails reduce risk.”
“If you're self-hosting LLMs, vLLM is the obvious choice. Battle-tested and actively maintained.”
“AWS's distribution advantage means Bedrock will be how most enterprises consume AI models.”
“Self-hosted inference will remain important for latency, cost, and privacy. vLLM is the infrastructure layer.”
