AWS Bedrock → QuickSilver Pro
Unlike the reseller migrations, this one swaps SDKs: you drop the AWS SDK + SigV4 signing and use the plain OpenAI SDK with a Bearer key. The payoff is ~9% cheaper output on DeepSeek R1 (input is at parity), plus access to the V4 wave Bedrock doesn't carry. For the full side-by-side analysis, see /vs/bedrock.
The steps
- 1
Get a QuickSilver Pro API key
Sign up at quicksilverpro.io/dashboard. Launch bonus: top up between $5 and $50 and we match it 100% — pay $5, get $10; pay $50, get $100.
- 2
Replace the AWS SDK with the OpenAI SDK
Bedrock requires the AWS SDK (boto3 / aws-sdk) and SigV4 request signing. QuickSilver Pro serves the OpenAI chat-completions shape directly, so you drop that plumbing entirely and use the official openai client with a Bearer API key.
Bedrock's Converse API maps cleanly to OpenAI chat completions — streaming, tool calling, and structured output behavior carry over. See the full before/after below.

Rename model IDs
Bedrock uses region-qualified inference-profile IDs. QuickSilver Pro uses short model names. Bedrock does not carry the DeepSeek V4 wave, Qwen 3.6, or Kimi K2.6 — those become newly available on QuickSilver Pro.

Test your core flows end-to-end
Run one representative request for each feature you use — chat, streaming, tool / function calling, and json_schema strict mode. Any behavioral difference is a bug — report it.
