Submit a single prompt with InvokeModel

You run inference on a single prompt by using the InvokeModel and InvokeModelWithResponseStream API operations and specifying a model. Amazon Bedrock models differ in whether they accept text, image, or video inputs and whether they can produce outputs of text, image, or embeddings. Some models can return the response in a stream. To check model support for input, output, and streaming support, do one of the following:

• Check the value in the Input modalities, Output modalities, or Streaming supported columns for a model at Supported foundation models in Amazon Bedrock.

• Send a GetFoundationModel request with the model ID and check the values in the inputModalities, outputModalities, and responseStreamingSupported field.

Important

InvokeModel and InvokeModelWithResponseStream are restricted in the following ways:

• You can't generate a video with these API operations. Instead, you must use the StartAsyncInvoke API. For an example, see Use Amazon Nova Reel to generate a video from a text prompt.

• You can't include a document in the request body. To include a document during inference, use the Chat/text playground in the AWS Management Console or send a Converse request.

• If you use an inference profile, you can't specify content with an Amazon S3 URI. Instead, you must specify it in bytes.

Run model inference on a prompt by sending an InvokeModel or InvokeModelWithResponseStream request with an Amazon Bedrock runtime endpoint.

The following fields are required:

Field	Use case
modelId	To specify the model, inference profile, or prompt from Prompt management to use. To learn how to find this value, see Submit prompts and generate responses using the API.
body	To specify the inference parameters for a model. To see inference parameters for different models, see Inference request parameters and response fields for foundation models. If you specify a prompt from Prompt management in the modelId field, omit this field (if you include it, it will be ignored).

The following fields are optional:

Field	Use case
accept	To specify the media type for the request body. For more information, see Media Types on the Swagger website.
contentType	To specify the media type for the response body. For more information, see Media Types on the Swagger website.
performanceConfigLatency	To specify whether to optimize a model for latency. For more information, see Optimize model inference for latency.
guardrailIdentifier	To specify a guardrail to apply to the prompt and response. For more information, see Test a guardrail.
guardrailVersion	To specify a guardrail to apply to the prompt and response. For more information, see Test a guardrail.
trace	To specify whether to return the trace for the guardrail you specify. For more information, see Test a guardrail.

Invoke model code examples

This topic provides some basic examples for running inference using a single prompt with the InvokeModel API. For more examples with different models, visit the following resources:

• Pick an example under the Code examples for Amazon Bedrock Runtime using AWS SDKs topic.

• Visit the inference parameter reference for the desired model at Inference request parameters and response fields for foundation models.

The following examples assume that you've set up programmatic access such that you automatically authenticate to the AWS CLI and the SDK for Python (Boto3) in a default AWS Region when you run these examples. For information on setting up programmating access, see Getting started with the API.

Note

Review the following points before trying out the examples:

• You should test these examples in US East (N. Virginia) (us-east-1), which supports all the models used in the examples.

• The body parameter can be large, so for some CLI examples, you'll be asked to create a JSON file and provide that file into the --body argument instead of specifying it in the command line.

• For the image and video examples, you'll be asked to use your own image and video. The examples assume that your image file is named image.png and that your video file is named video.mp4.

• You might have to convert images or videos into a base64-encoded string or upload them to an Amazon S3 location. In the examples, you'll have to replace the placeholders with the actual base64-encoded string or S3 location.

Generate a text response to an image with an accompanying text prompt

Choose the tab for your preferred method, and then follow the steps:

CLI

The following example uses the Anthropic Claude 3 Haiku model to generate a response, given an image and a text prompt that asks the contents of the image. Open a terminal and do the following:

1. Convert an image titled image.png in your current folder into a base64-encoded string and write it to a file titled image.txt by running the following command:

   base64 -i image.png -o image.txt

2. Create a JSON file called image-text-input.json and paste the following JSON, replacing ${image-base64} with the contents of the image.txt file (make sure there is no new line at the end of the string):

   {
       "anthropic_version": "bedrock-2023-05-31",
       "max_tokens": 1000,
       "messages": [
           {               
               "role": "user",
               "content": [
                   {
                       "type": "image",
                       "source": {
                           "type": "base64",
                           "media_type": "image/png", 
                           "data": "${image-base64}"
                       }
                   },
                   {
                       "type": "text",
                       "text": "What's in this image?"
                   }
               ]
           }
       ]
   }

3. Run the following command to generate a text output, based on the image and the accompanying text prompt, to a file called invoke-model-output.txt:

   aws bedrock-runtime invoke-model \
       --model-id anthropic.claude-3-haiku-20240307-v1:0 \
       --body file://image-text-input.json \
       --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out \
       invoke-model-output.txt

4. Find the output in the invoke-model-output.txt file in the current folder.

Generate a text response to a video converted to a base64-encoded string with an accompanying text prompt

The following examples show how to generate a response with the Amazon Nova Lite model, given a video converted to a base64-encoded string and an accompanying text prompt. Choose the tab for your preferred method, and then follow the steps:

CLI

Do the following:

1. Convert a video titled video.mp4 in your current folder into base64 by running the following command:

   base64 -i video.mp4 -o video.txt

2. Create a JSON file called video-text-input.json and paste the following JSON, replacing ${video-base64} with the contents of the video.txt file (make sure there is no new line at the end):

   {
       "messages": [          
           {               
               "role": "user",
               "content": [      
                   {                       
                       "video": {     
                           "format": "mp4",   
                           "source": {
                               "bytes": ${video-base64}
                           }
                       }                                    
                   },
                   {
                       "text": "What happens in this video?"
                   }
               ]
           }                              
       ]                  
   }

3. Run the following command to generate a text output based on the video and the accompanying text prompt to a file called invoke-model-output.txt:

   aws bedrock-runtime invoke-model \
       --model-id amazon.nova-lite-v1:0 \
       --body file://video-text-input.json \
       --cli-binary-format raw-in-base64-out \
       invoke-model-output.txt

4. Find the output in the invoke-model-output.txt file in the current folder.

The AWS CLI does not support streaming.

The following example shows how to use the InvokeModelWithResponseStream API to generate streaming text with Python using the prompt write an essay for living on mars in 1000 words.

brt = boto3.client(service_name='bedrock-runtime')

body = json.dumps({
    'prompt': '\n\nHuman: write an essay for living on mars in 1000 words\n\nAssistant:',
    'max_tokens_to_sample': 4000
})
                   
response = brt.invoke_model_with_response_stream(
    modelId='anthropic.claude-v2', 
    body=body
)
    
stream = response.get('body')
if stream:
    for event in stream:
        chunk = event.get('chunk')
        if chunk:
            print(json.loads(chunk.get('bytes').decode()))
