converse#

BedrockRuntime.Client.converse(**kwargs)#

Sends messages to the specified Amazon Bedrock model. Converse provides a consistent interface that works with all models that support messages. This allows you to write code once and use it with different models. Should a model have unique inference parameters, you can also pass those unique parameters to the model. For more information, see Run inference in the Bedrock User Guide.

This operation requires permission for the bedrock:InvokeModel action.
