Anthropic Claude Models

A drag-and-drop component for integrating Anthropic's Claude models into your workflow. Configure model parameters and connect inputs/outputs to other components.

Anthropic Claude component interface and configuration

API Key Notice: A valid Anthropic API key is required to use this component. Ensure your API key has sufficient quota and appropriate rate limits for your application needs.

Component Inputs

Input: Text input for the model
Example: "Write a summary of the latest developments in quantum computing."
System Message: System prompt to guide model behavior
Example: "You are an expert in scientific topics who can explain complex subjects clearly and concisely."
Stream: Toggle for streaming responses
Example: true (for real-time token streaming) or false (for complete response)
Model Name: The Claude model to use
Example: "claude-3-5-sonnet-latest", "claude-3-opus-20240229", "claude-3-haiku-20240307"
Anthropic API Key: Your API authentication key
Example: "sk-ant-api03-..."
Anthropic API URL: API endpoint URL
Example: "https://api.anthropic.com" (Default)
Prefill: Optional prefill content
Example: "The following is a summary of quantum computing advances from the past year:"

Component Outputs

Text: Generated text output
Example: "Recent developments in quantum computing include advances in error correction techniques..."
Language Model: Model information and metadata
Example: model: claude-3-5-sonnet-latest, usage: {input_tokens: 55, output_tokens: 210, total_tokens: 265}

Model Parameters

Max Tokens

Maximum number of tokens to generate in the response

Default: 4096
Range: 1 to model maximum (varies by model)
Recommendation: Set based on expected response length

Temperature

Controls randomness in the output - higher values increase creativity

Default: 0.1
Range: 0.0 to 1.0
Recommendation: Lower (0.0-0.3) for factual/consistent responses, Higher (0.7-1.0) for creative tasks

Implementation Example

// Basic configuration
const anthropicClient = {
  modelName: "claude-3-5-sonnet-latest",
  anthropicApiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
  systemMessage: "You are a helpful assistant."
};

// Advanced configuration
const advancedAnthropicClient = {
  modelName: "claude-3-opus-20240229",
  anthropicApiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
  anthropicApiUrl: "https://api.anthropic.com",
  maxTokens: 2000,
  temperature: 0.7,
  stream: true,
  prefill: "Based on the information provided, here is a detailed analysis:"
};

// Usage example
async function generateResponse(input) {
  const response = await anthropicComponent.generate({
    input: input,
    systemMessage: "You are an expert in scientific research.",
    modelName: "claude-3-5-sonnet-latest",
    temperature: 0.2
  });
  
  return response.text;
}

Use Cases

Research Assistance: Generate summaries and analyses of complex topics

Useful Resources

Best Practices

Use system messages for consistent outputs across conversations
Enable streaming for real-time responses in interactive applications
Adjust temperature based on task needs (lower for factual, higher for creative)
Utilize prefill for providing additional context or formatting
Secure API key handling with environment variables
Monitor token usage to manage costs
Start with small token limits during testing
