# Provision additional throughput for your agent's model
<a name="agents-pt"></a>

To increase the rate and number of tokens that the agent can process during model inference, associate a Provisioned Throughput that you've purchased for the model that your agent is using. To learn more about Provisioned Throughput and how to purchase it, see [Increase model invocation capacity with Provisioned Throughput in Amazon Bedrock](prov-throughput.md).

You can associate a Provisioned Throughput when you [create](agents-deploy.md) or [update](agents-alias-edit.md) an agent alias. In the Amazon Bedrock console, you choose the Provisioned Throughput when setting up the alias or editing it. In the Amazon Bedrock API, you specify the `provisionedThroughput` in the `routingConfiguration` when you send a [CreateAgentAlias](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_agent_CreateAgentAlias.html) or [UpdateAgentAlias](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_agent_UpdateAgentAlias.html); request.
