# Anthropic

> Using Anthropic Claude models with Upsonic

## Overview

Anthropic provides the Claude family of models known for safety, accuracy, and extended thinking capabilities. Upsonic supports all Claude models including Claude 3.5, Claude 3.7, and Claude 4.

**Model Class:** `AnthropicModel`

## Authentication

```bash theme={null}
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
```

## Examples

```python theme={null}
from upsonic import Agent, Task
from upsonic.models.anthropic import AnthropicModel

model = AnthropicModel(model_name="claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022")
agent = Agent(model=model)

task = Task("Hello, how are you?")
result = agent.do(task)
print(result)
```

## Model Settings

You can set model parameters in two ways: on the model or on the Agent.

**On the model:**

```python theme={null}
from upsonic import Agent, Task
from upsonic.models.anthropic import AnthropicModel, AnthropicModelSettings

model = AnthropicModel(
    model_name="claude-sonnet-4-5",
    settings=AnthropicModelSettings(max_tokens=2048, temperature=0.5)
)
agent = Agent(model=model)
```

**On the Agent:**

```python theme={null}
from upsonic import Agent, Task
from upsonic.models.anthropic import AnthropicModelSettings

agent = Agent(
    model="anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5",
    settings=AnthropicModelSettings(max_tokens=2048, temperature=0.5)
)
```
