Integrate AWS Bedrock LLMs with Cognee using LiteLLM Proxy (not the SDK) for seamless access to Anthropic Claude, Amazon Titan, and other Bedrock models. The proxy acts as a server that Cognee connects to, providing a unified interface for all Bedrock models.

​
Prerequisites

  • AWS account with Bedrock access
  • Python 3.8+
  • Cognee 0.2.0+

​
Setup

​
1. Install LiteLLM Proxy

Use LiteLLM Proxy (not the SDK) for this integration. The proxy acts as a server that Cognee can connect to.
pip install litellm[proxy]
For detailed setup instructions, refer to the official LiteLLM Bedrock tutorial.

​
2. Configure LiteLLM Proxy

Create a config.yaml file: 
model_list:
  - model_name: bedrock-claude-3-5-sonnet
    litellm_params:
      model: bedrock/anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0
      aws_access_key_id: your_aws_id
      aws_secret_access_key: your_aws_key
      aws_region_name: your_aws_region_name
      drop_params: true
The drop_params: true setting is important for proper Bedrock integration.

​
3. Start LiteLLM Proxy

litellm --config config.yaml
The proxy will run on http://localhost:4000 by default.

​
4. Configure Cognee

Create a .env file: 
LLM_API_KEY = "doesn't matter"
LLM_MODEL = "litellm_proxy/bedrock-claude-3-5-sonnet"
LLM_PROVIDER = "openai"
LLM_ENDPOINT = "http://localhost:4000"

EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=fastembed
EMBEDDING_MODEL=sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
EMBEDDING_DIMENSIONS=384
EMBEDDING_MAX_TOKENS=256
Set LLM_PROVIDER = "openai" - LiteLLM works with this format for Bedrock models.

​
5. Install Cognee

pip install cognee==0.2.0

​
Usage Example

import cognee
import asyncio


async def main():
    # Add text to cognee
    await cognee.add("Natural language processing (NLP) is an interdisciplinary subfield of computer science and information retrieval.")

    # Generate the knowledge graph
    await cognee.cognify()

    # Query the knowledge graph
    results = await cognee.search("Tell me about NLP")

    # Display the results
    for result in results:
        print(result)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())

​
Supported Bedrock Models

  • Anthropic Claude: bedrock/anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620-v1:0
  • Amazon Titan: bedrock/amazon.titan-text-express-v1
  • Cohere Command: bedrock/cohere.command-text-v14
  • AI21 Jurassic: bedrock/ai21.j2-ultra-v1

​
Troubleshooting

​
Common Issues

  1. Authentication Errors: Verify your AWS credentials and Bedrock permissions
  2. Model Not Found: Ensure the model name matches exactly in your config
  3. Connection Issues: Check that LiteLLM proxy is running on the correct port

​
Debug Mode

Enable debug logging in LiteLLM: 
litellm --config config.yaml --debug
