No provider config found for model: {model}
Error message
No provider config found for model: {model} What it means
In the Bedrock passthrough/response transformer, the model is resolved to an 'invoke/<model>' or 'converse/<model>' chat config key and looked up via ProviderConfigManager.get_provider_chat_config. If no registered provider config matches the provider/model combination, a ValueError is raised stating no provider config was found for the model.

Solutions
- Verify the model ID's provider prefix is spelled correctly and is a supported Bedrock provider.
- Upgrade litellm — provider configs for new Bedrock models are added frequently.
- For chat models, prefer the standard bedrock/ path (litellm.completion(model='bedrock/<model>')) which handles providers more generically.
- If the model is not chat-oriented, use the dedicated route (embeddings/rerank/image) instead of invoke/converse passthrough.
Example fix
# before response = litellm.completion(model='bedrock/converse/antrhopic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229-v1:0', messages=msgs) # after response = litellm.completion(model='bedrock/anthropic.claude-3-sonnet-20240229-v1:0', messages=msgs)

raise Prevention
- Prefer model='bedrock/<provider.model>' over passthrough invoke/converse strings for chat models.
- Keep litellm current when AWS adds providers.
- Maintain a curated model list validated at app startup.
When it happens
Trigger: Using bedrock passthrough endpoints (/bedrock/invoke or /bedrock/converse) with a model whose provider prefix (e.g. meta., anthropic., amazon., ai21., mistral., cohere.) litellm cannot map to a chat config — for example a brand-new or misspelled provider prefix, or a vendor whose invoke transformation is not registered.
Common situations: New Bedrock provider launched but the installed litellm predates its invoke transformation; model string typos ('antrhopic.claude-...'); using passthrough for an unsupported modality (embedding/image models routed through the chat config path).
