Anthropic

The Anthropic node integrates Anthropic’s Claude large language models into your workflow. It accepts input prompts, processes them using a selected Claude model, and returns generated answers. This node is typically used for tasks such as reasoning, summarization, content generation, and conversational response.

Configuration:

When setting up the Anthropic node, you’ll need to configure several parameters:

  • Model Selection: Choose the appropriate Claude model variant based on your needs (e.g., claude-3-sonnet, claude-3-haiku).
  • API Key: Enter your Anthropic API key for authentication. Remember to store your API key securely and never share it publicly.
  • Available Models: The Anthropic connector provides access to Claude’s latest models, ensuring you can leverage advanced AI capabilities for your workflows.

Supported Model Variants:

Model Input Tokens Optimized For
Claude 3.5 Haiku 200K High-speed responses, efficiency, lightweight applications
Claude 3.7 Sonnet 200K Balanced performance, general-purpose use, improved reasoning
Custom Model User-specified Specialized use cases, upcoming Claude models

Key capabilities include:

  • Advanced natural language understanding and generation
  • Nuanced reasoning with complex concepts
  • Content summarization and transformation
  • Conversational AI with strong safety features
  • Multi-turn dialogue management

Inputs and Outputs

  • Input Channels:

Prompt – Primary text input for the model.
Questions – Accepts plain text prompts or user-generated questions, forwarded to the Claude model for processing.
Documents – Document objects for context.
System – System instructions for the model.

  • Output Channels:

Text – Generated text output.
Answers – The model-generated response based on the input received. The output is a string of generated text that can be passed to other nodes.
