| 2026-06-17 | Model-to-model migration assessment for generative AI workloads | AWS Transform now offers a model-to-model migration custom transformation. The transformation assesses your generative AI workloads. It produces a migration plan for moving from third-party providers to Amazon Bedrock. The AI-powered agent scans your codebase to identify every AI SDK and model in use. The agent gathers migration requirements through interactive questions. Then it maps models to Amazon Bedrock equivalents with transparent cost comparisons and production-ready code changes. Supports migrations from OpenAI, Google Gemini, direct Anthropic SDK usage, and open-source models through LiteLLM or Ollama. Handles direct SDK integrations and framework-wrapped patterns including LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, LangGraph, and multi-provider routing layers. Available at no additional charge beyond standard AWS Transform pricing. | What's New post |
