public class AnthropicChatModel
extends Object
implements ChatLanguageModel

Represents an Anthropic language model with a Messages (chat) API.
More details are available here.

It supports tools. See more information here.

It supports Images as inputs. UserMessages can contain one or multiple ImageContents. Images must not be represented as URLs; they should be Base64-encoded strings and include a mimeType.

The content of SystemMessages is sent using the "system" parameter.

Sanitization is performed on the ChatMessages provided to conform to Anthropic API requirements. This process includes verifying that the first message is a UserMessage and removing any consecutive UserMessages. Any messages removed during sanitization are logged as warnings and not submitted to the API.

Supports caching SystemMessages and ToolSpecifications.
