Bedrock Base Models Error: You don't have access to the model with the specified model ID

Question

Hello,
I am trying a tutorial with a Lambda function which employs Bedrock base models and getting the following error:
[ERROR] ValueError: Error raised by bedrock service: An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the InvokeModel operation: You don't have access to the model with the specified model ID.
Having read the responses from others facing the same issue, I have allowed access to third-party model subscriptions for my user according to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-access.html#add-model-access
However the error persists. What else can I try?
Thank you.

Accepted Answer

Hello.

Is the model enabled in the correct region?  
This error can occur when running in a region that does not have model access enabled.  
Try creating a client while specifying the region where the model is enabled as shown below.  
```
bedrock_runtime = boto3.client(service_name='bedrock-runtime', region_name='us-east-1')
```

Answer

Are you specifying correctly (maybe typo?) the model id? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/model-ids.html

Answer

The model is enabled in the correct region, I have checked it.
