About

A useful but simple chatbot utilizing Anthropic Claude models on AWS Bedrock.

This app was developed entirely using Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet. It began with a simple prompt:

let's develop a python streamlit app that uses boto3 to utilize aws bedrock models.

These Anthropic Claude models are included as options the user can choose:

• Claude 3.5 Sonnet
  • model id: anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0
  • This model is comparable to ChatGPT 4o
• Claude 3 Haiku
  • model id: anthropic.claude-3-haiku-20240307-v1:0
• Claude 3 Sonnet
  • model id: anthropic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229-v1:0
• Claude 2.1
  • model id: anthropic.claude-v2:1
• Claude 2.0
  • model id: anthropic.claude-v2

Settings - options

While running the app, you can do the following:

• Change the selected model
• Choose streaming (real time) or non-streaming (wait for it, get it all at once) mode for the model responses
• Set custom model paramters:
  • Temperature
  • Top K
• Select a system prompt from simple pre-supplied prompts.
  • System Prompts are separate from the user prompt. They are used to instruct the model how to behave and they are included in each request a user makes.
  • Example system prompt:

  • Respond to my requests and questions like a kind school teacher.

• Create and use a Custom system prompt to test out various prompt techniques to tailor the bot for your use.
• Clear chat history.

User experience

A few keyboard control options to know while using the app:

• You can add new lines to the input prompt by using Shift + Enter (aka a soft return). When you press Enter alone, it will submit the input field to the model for evaluation.
• You can add a Custom System Prompt by selecting Custom from the options. In the Custom System Prompt text field, you will use Control + Enter to submit, to make the new prompt live.

Running the app

A Dockerfile is included for reference on how to build the image to run in Docker or to deploy as a container.

Otherwise, a simple start and stop script are also included to run the app, assuming python and the required python libaries have been installed. Reference the Dockerfile for guidance here too.

Authentication

The app is intended to run with AWS credentials with an AWS account that has access to bedrock. You will need an IAM user or role with access to the becrock models to run the app.

For example, you can set the environment variables where the app is running:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=your_access_key
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=your_secret_key

Or add these values directly to the boto3 client in main.py

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = "your_access_key_id"
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = "your_secret_access_key"
AWS_REGION = "us-east-1"  # or your preferred region

bedrock = boto3.client(
    service_name='bedrock-runtime',
    region_name=AWS_REGION,
    aws_access_key_id=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
    aws_secret_access_key=AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
)

How Bedrock models are called (libraries)

The app simply uses boto3 bedrock-runtime and the Converse API.

import boto3
bedrock = boto3.client( service_name='bedrock-runtime' )
response = bedrock.converse()

You could instead use LangChain, for example.

from langchain_aws import ChatBedrockConverse
