Implementing programmatic tool calling on Amazon Bedrock
Amazon Bedrock now supports programmatic tool calling (PTC), a new method for large language models to interact with external tools. PTC allows models to generate code that invokes multiple tools simultaneously within a sandboxed environment, significantly reducing latency and token consumption compared to traditional sequential tool calls. This approach is particularly beneficial for complex data processing and multi-step operations, with AWS offering three implementation methods on Bedrock. AI
