So I am pretty sure that there is some aws/amazon service which can provide gpu's / model inference too.

I read it (I think) in one of the comment that There is a model picker that currently allows you to switch between Claude Sonnet 4.0 and Claude Sonnet 3.7

So is this just using Claude?

I really thought that the advantages of using Kiro might really be that of the leverage that Amazon Gpu's infrastructure could provide, maybe even some discounts to lure people to Kiro.

I am pretty sure that a lot of people will ask you the same question, But I would really appreciate it if you could answer me this question in preferably simple terms: "Why Kiro? Why not all the other stuff that has come before it and the stuff that will come after it"

Also I am really having some dejavu but while writing this comment, has the title of this post changed, I swear I saw something written in the header with Amazon and now I don't see it. honestly, I am really being so off-topic but after seeing this name change of the post, I really wish if that there was some website that could track all the name changes of posts that happen in HN, because I was completely baffled by this name change or I am being totally paranoid.

The previous title stated Kiro as being "Amazon's Cursor clone", which I agree was not adequate.

My suspicions were right that the name had something to do with amazon because I went into this thread thinking about Amazon's unique position in this market.

It does use AWS infrastructure, ie Bedrock which supports many different models.

Ohh I forgot that anthropic uses AWS Bedrock (I think?, right?) That checks out. This is really cool project!

From my understanding Anthropic is independent but they offer Claude as an offering through Bedrock
