Samsung C&T, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hanwha Solutions are using Claude models and tools based on Amazon Bedrock.
AWS announced on the 30th that it will expand Anthropic model availability in Amazon Bedrock in the Asia Pacific (Seoul) Region, adding "Claude Opus 5" and "Claude Sonnet 5." As a result, domestic companies, startups and public institutions will be able to process inference domestically and use the latest Claude models.
Through this expansion, AWS expects generative AI adoption and use to become possible in regulated industries such as finance, the public sector and healthcare. The company cited sensitivity over overseas data transfers as the basis for that view.
By model, "Claude Opus 5" is applied to complex agent-based coding and enterprise tasks, while "Claude Sonnet 5" is applied to coding, document processing and customer service. AWS said "Claude Sonnet 5" is suited to workloads that balance speed and performance. Customers do not need to make any separate infrastructure changes and can use the service by selecting a Region-specific inference profile, while Amazon Bedrock automatically handles the model call path.
With inference carried out within the Seoul Region, customer data and the inference process are handled on domestic infrastructure. Accordingly, there is no need to transfer data to a distant Region, latency is reduced, and data residency requirements can also be addressed.
Amazon Bedrock can connect enterprise control features with existing AWS environments. Amazon Bedrock integrates with AWS CloudTrail, IAM and Amazon CloudWatch, allowing users to manage model access history and permissions, as well as usage, performance and costs.
Based on this foundation, domestic corporate use cases are also expanding. Samsung C&T has advanced its review work for bid proposals and contracts by using Claude models in Amazon Bedrock, and AWS said Samsung C&T's document review time has been cut by about 70% as a result.
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries has introduced Anthropic's AI coding tool, "Claude Code," through Amazon Bedrock. At HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, more than 1,200 developers, including teams responsible for DX and AX and researchers, are using it for code writing, review and editing.
Hanwha Solutions has adopted the agentic AI desktop application "Claude Cowork." The adoption takes the form of an enterprise-wide AI assistant in an environment based on Amazon Bedrock. Hanwha Solutions is expanding the scope of deployment to global sites, including those in Korea and the United States.
Ham Ki-ho, CEO of AWS Korea, said domestic companies and customers in regulated industries such as finance and the public sector can build AI applications while meeting domestic data processing requirements. He also said the company plans to support the use of the latest models in existing AWS infrastructure.
Choi Ki-young, head of Anthropic Korea, said domestic inference support has created an environment in which Claude can be introduced without taking sensitive data overseas. He also said the company plans to continue expanding investment and customer support in the Korean market.
