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. Enter the model ID, for example claude-3-5-sonnet-latest.
  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.

Balanced quality & costclaude-3-5-sonnet-latestAnthropic's mid-tier; a strong default for most automations.
Highest qualityclaude-3-opus-latestSlower and more expensive; use for hard tasks.

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-3-5-sonnet-latest 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.
