Gptcmd-anthropic

Gptcmd-anthropic adds support for Anthropic's Claude models to Gptcmd.

Python 3.8.6 or later, Gptcmd 2.0.0 or later, and an Anthropic API key are required to use this package. Gptcmd-anthropic is available on PyPI, and can, for instance, be installed with pip install gptcmd-anthropic at a command line shell.

Configuration

To use Gptcmd-anthropic, you'll need to add a new account to your Gptcmd configuration or modify your default account. If no api_key is specified in your configuration, Gptcmd-anthropic uses the API key in the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY environment variable. An example configuration follows:

[accounts.claude]
provider = "anthropic"
api_key = "sk-ant-xxxxx"  # Replace with your API key
# Though not required, specifying a model in your configuration, similar to
# openai and azure accounts, will use that model by default
model = "claude-3-5-sonnet-latest"
# Any additional options are passed directly to the Python Anthropic client's
# constructor for this account.

Usage

If you've configured multiple accounts, the account command in Gptcmd can be used to switch between them:

(gpt-4o) account claude
Switched to account 'claude'
(claude-3-5-sonnet-latest) account default
Switched to account 'default'
(gpt-4o)

Consult Gptcmd's readme for additional usage instructions.

Prompt caching

To save costs, Gptcmd-anthropic dynamically inserts cache breakpoints on the system message (if present), the final user message, and the largest messages of a conversation based on content length and number of attachments. This feature is currently not user configurable.
