Inputs

1. Cache

   • Type: BaseCache
   • Optional: Yes
   • Description: Caching mechanism for the model

2. Model Name

   • Type: Async Options (dynamically loaded)
   • Default: “claude-3-haiku”
   • Description: The specific Anthropic model to use

3. Temperature

   • Type: Number
   • Default: 0.9
   • Step: 0.1
   • Optional: Yes
   • Description: Controls the randomness of the model’s output

4. Max Tokens

   • Type: Number
   • Step: 1
   • Optional: Yes
   • Additional Params: Yes
   • Description: The maximum number of tokens to generate in the response

5. Top P

   • Type: Number
   • Step: 0.1
   • Optional: Yes
   • Additional Params: Yes
   • Description: Controls the diversity of the model’s output

6. Top K

   • Type: Number
   • Step: 0.1
   • Optional: Yes
   • Additional Params: Yes
   • Description: Limits the number of top tokens considered for generation

7. Allow Image Uploads

   • Type: Boolean
   • Default: false
   • Optional: Yes
   • Description: Enables image upload functionality, automatically using claude-3-* models when an image is uploaded from chat

​

Functionality

1. Model Loading:

   • The node dynamically loads available Anthropic models using the getModels function.

2. Initialization:

   • Retrieves and validates the Anthropic API key from credentials.
   • Sets up the Anthropic model with specified parameters (temperature, model name, max tokens, top p, top k, streaming).
   • Creates and returns an instance of the ChatAnthropic model.

3. Multi-Modal Support:

   • Configures the model to handle image uploads when the “Allow Image Uploads” option is enabled.

​

Usage

This node is designed to be used within a larger system, likely a flow-based programming environment for AI tasks. It can be used for various natural language processing tasks such as:

• Text generation
• Question answering
• Conversation simulation
• Multi-modal interactions (when image upload is enabled)
• And other language-related tasks supported by Anthropic’s models

The node allows for fine-tuning of the model’s behavior through parameters like temperature, top p, and top k, enabling users to adjust the output according to their specific needs.

​

Integration

This node is meant to integrate with other components in the system, allowing for the creation of complex NLP pipelines and applications. It’s particularly noted to work well with:

• LLMChain
• Conversation Chain
• ReAct Agent
• Conversational Agent
• Tool Agent

When the “Allow Image Uploads” option is enabled, it automatically switches to claude-3-* models to handle multi-modal inputs, enhancing its versatility in handling both text and image-based tasks.
