Pax8 partners, if your clients have been asking for more AI, you’re in luck. Pax8 has secured authorization from Anthropic to provide Claude large language models (LLMs) through Amazon Bedrock, giving partners a way to deliver enterprise-grade AI solutions to their small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers.
How Does Delivering Claude to SMBs Work Within the Pax8 Ecosystem?
Pax8 partners can now enable Claude models directly within customer AWS accounts through Amazon Bedrock. That means partners can add Claude AI to their solution stack without the complexity that typically slows AI adoption.
Amazon Bedrock is AWS’s fully managed service for building and scaling AI applications. With Bedrock, your clients can choose models while maintaining control of their data and workloads inside their own AWS environments. So, you can confidently offer advanced AI capabilities while still meeting your clients’ security, compliance and operational requirements.
Why Does Offering Claude Through Pax8 Marketplace Matter for Partners and SMBs?
For many SMBs, AI adoption has gotten stuck at the proof-of-concept stage. And Claude is widely seen as one of the best ways for organizations to take advantage of the productivity promise of AI.
Access to Claude through Pax8 lowers the barrier to entry by offering trusted models through a familiar cloud environment, with partners leading the way to enablement.
Pax8 partners can now:
- Deliver enterprise-grade AI without introducing unnecessary risk
- Match AI capabilities and costs to specific customer use cases
- Integrate AI into existing workloads already running on AWS
- Expand recurring revenue with high-value AI services
As Eric Pinet, CEO of Unicorne, Canada’s 2025 AWS Partner of the Year, noted, “Anthropic’s models are becoming foundational for how our customers build AI on AWS. What Pax8 is doing changes the equation for the SMB market. By making these models accessible through Amazon Bedrock in the Pax8 Marketplace, more companies can move from experimenting with AI to deploying real, production-grade applications.”
It’s also worth noting that Pax8 is one of the few organizations authorized to facilitate Anthropic’s LLMs for SMBs at scale.
“Pax8’s relationship with Anthropic has been very beneficial for our partners and especially their small to mid-sized business customers,” said Oguo Atuanya, Corporate VP of Vendor Experience at Pax8. “With Anthropic AI models now available, our partners will be able to onboard customers, process existing workloads and facilitate top tools and solutions for their customers. This authorization removes a major barrier for end customers building AI solutions and growing their businesses.”
Which Claude Models Are Available and What Do They Do?
Partners and end customers can choose from multiple Claude models to align performance and cost with business needs:
- Claude Opus 4 for advanced reasoning and complex tasks
- Claude Sonnet 4 for balanced performance and speed
- Claude Haiku for lightweight, cost-efficient use cases
This flexibility allows managed service providers (MSPs) and managed intelligence providers (MIPs) to design AI-driven solutions that scale as their customer needs evolve.
How Does Claude Power the Agentic Economy?
This is another step toward enabling an agentic economy in which intelligent systems work alongside people to increase efficiency and deliver insights. It’ll help SMBs continue to stand strong among their enterprise counterparts. And by delivering this solution through the Pax8 Marketplace, partners can lead SMBs into the next phase of AI adoption with ease.
Pax8 will continue working closely with Anthropic and AWS to unlock new AI-driven opportunities as the partner ecosystem and offerings evolve. Check out AWS on the Pax8 Marketplace to get started.
