Amazon Bedrock doesn't use your prompts and completions to train any AWS models and doesn't distribute them to third parties_. Beginning March 11th, 2025, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_sonnet %} will additionally be hosted by Anthropic PBC and Google Cloud Platform when used in {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} to provide additional model capacity and reliability. When using {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_sonnet %}, input prompts and output completions continue to run through {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %}'s content filters for public code matching, when applied, along with those for harmful, offensive, or off-topic content. ## Configuring access You must enable access to each {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_sonnet %} individually before you can use the model. {% ifversion fpt %} ### Setup for individual use > [!NOTE] {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_sonnet_37 %} is not currently available for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_free_short %} If you have a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_free_short %} or {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_pro_short %} subscription, you can enable {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_sonnet %} in two ways: * The first time you choose to use {% data variables.copilot.copilot_claude_sonnet %} models with {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, or in the immersive view of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %}, you will be prompted to allow access to the model.
