🚀 See the pace of technological advancement in the era of Generative AI!

Claude 4 LLMs were released in May 2025 — and by June 2025, Amazon added support for them via Amazon Q CLI. That means you can now experiment with these powerful models directly from your terminal.

No IDE. No app development. No browser.

Just Amazon Q CLI — right from the command line.

Let's see a quick demo of this Amazon Q CLI with Claude integration.

I created a clip showcasing how seamlessly you can leverage Claude's power through Amazon Q CLI! Here's what I demonstrated:

Part 1: Conversational AI with Claude Sonnet 3.7

Started a chat session using Q CLI
Asked for 3 NYC travel recommendations
Got subway directions from Empire State Building to Central Park

Part 2: Model Switching & Code Generation

Switched to the newly released Claude 4 using the model command
Generated a "Hello World" function in Go programming language
Converted the same function to Python programming language
Clean exit with the quit command

The speed and flexibility of switching between models and use cases through a simple CLI is impressive. Amazon Q CLI makes it incredibly easy to integrate Claude's capabilities into your workflow.

Whether you're building, learning, or experimenting — Amazon Q CLI brings powerful GenAI right to your fingertips.
