​
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.
