AmazonBedrockChatGenerator

Use chat completion models hosted on Amazon Bedrock. This component supports models from AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Stability AI, and Amazon.

Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that makes state-of-the-art language models available for use through a unified API. To learn more, see Amazon Bedrock documentation.

With AmazonBedrockChatGenerator, you can use chat completion models from AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Stability AI, and Amazon.

Key Features

• Supports chat completion models from multiple providers: AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Stability AI, and Amazon.
• Accepts a list of ChatMessage objects as input, making it compatible with ChatPromptBuilder.
• Supports tool calling for agentic workflows.
• Supports streaming responses token by token.
• Uses AWS credentials for authentication.

Configuration

1. Drag the AmazonBedrockChatGenerator component onto the canvas from the Component Library.
2. Click on the component to open the configuration panel.
3. On the General tab:

   1. Enter the model name in the Model field (for example, amazon.nova-pro-v1:0).

   2. Configure your AWS credentials. You'll need:

      • AWS Access Key ID
      • AWS Secret Access Key
      • AWS Region Name (make sure the region supports Amazon Bedrock)
      • Optionally, AWS Session Token and AWS Profile Name.

      For detailed explanation, see Use Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker Models.

4. Go to the Advanced tab to configure additional settings such as generation_kwargs, streaming_callback, boto3_config, stop_words, and tools.

Connections

AmazonBedrockChatGenerator receives a list of ChatMessage objects from ChatPromptBuilder through its messages input. It outputs a list of ChatMessage objects through its replies output. You typically connect its replies output to an OutputAdapter that converts the replies into a format that AnswerBuilder or DeepsetAnswerBuilder can accept.

Source Code

To check this component's source code, open chat_generator.py in the Haystack Core Integrations repository.

Using the Component in a Pipeline

This is an example of a RAG chat pipeline with AmazonBedrockChatGenerator. Note that it receives instructions from ChatPromptBuilder, and it needs an OutputAdapter to send the generated replies to DeepsetAnswerBuilder:
