dev.langchain4j.model.anthropic.AnthropicStreamingChatModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

StreamingChatLanguageModel

public class AnthropicStreamingChatModel
extends Object
implements StreamingChatLanguageModel

Represents an Anthropic language model with a Messages (chat) API. The model's response is streamed token by token and should be handled with StreamingResponseHandler.
More details are available here and 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 ensure conformity with Anthropic API requirements. This includes ensuring the first message is a UserMessage and that there are no consecutive UserMessages. Any messages removed during sanitization are logged as warnings and not submitted to the API.

Supports caching SystemMessages and ToolSpecifications.
