Controls extended beyond temperature

The Bedrock interface exposed repetition penalties that could be configured for spaces, punctuation, numbers and stop words.Jurassic-2's historical Amazon Bedrock request format

Practical guidance. Applications depending on these controls need to check the replacement API's behavior. Matching temperature alone is not enough to reproduce an older integration.

Keep the historical name separate from Jamba

Practical guidance. Current access to Ultra is not confirmed. It is not a Jamba alias, and the original Jurassic-1 Jumbo parameter count is not a verified specification for Ultra.
