Anthropic

Connect Anthropic's Claude models to your workspace.

What you need​

  • An Anthropic API key. Create one in the Anthropic console under "API keys".
  • The model ID you want to use (see recommendations below).
  • A few minutes.

Step by step​

  1. Open the Models tab and click Configure new Model.
  2. Pick Anthropic as provider.
  3. Enter a display name. Suggested: include the model name, e.g. "Anthropic Claude Sonnet".
  4. Pick the model, for example claude-sonnet-5, or choose Custom / Other and type an ID the list does not offer.
  5. Enter your API key in the secured field.
  6. Pick the model from the list. Anthropic only ships chat models — for embeddings, connect an OpenAI or Mistral embedding model in addition (see Models → Introduction).
  7. Click Create. The model is saved and available in the workspace.

The model form with Anthropic selected: name, description, API key, the model list and the API version.

NeedModel IDNotes
Fast and inexpensive chatclaude-haiku-4-5Quickest of the Claude family.
Balanced quality & costclaude-sonnet-5The recommended default for most automations.
Highest qualityclaude-opus-4-8More expensive; use for hard tasks. claude-fable-5 sits above it again, but requires 30-day data retention on the provider side.

If Anthropic releases a newer model, type its ID in the field. The -latest suffix usually resolves to the newest version of a model family.

Pricing​

Anthropic bills per token, separately for input and output. Current rates are on Anthropic's pricing page. The bill goes to your account; see BYOK.

Rate limits​

Anthropic enforces per-minute and per-day token limits, with separate limits per model. If you see rate-limit errors, look at the dashboard for the relevant limit and request an increase if needed.

Embeddings — note​

Anthropic does not offer a first-party embedding model. If your workspace uses knowledge bases, connect an embedding model from another provider (OpenAI text-embedding-3-small is a common default). The chat and embedding models do not need to come from the same provider — they are used independently.

Recommendations​

  • ✅ Create a dedicated API key for the AI Kit.
  • ✅ Start with claude-sonnet-5 for chat. It hits the right balance for most automations.
  • ✅ For embeddings, pair Anthropic chat with an OpenAI or Mistral embedding model.
  • ⚠️ The -latest alias points to whatever Anthropic considers current. If you need a stable behavior, pin to a specific version ID.
  • ❌ Do not assume an Anthropic key gives access to embeddings — it does not.
