Before building an agent that uses an Anthropic model, you’ll need to create an Anthropic developer account and get an API key.

​
Configuration

​
name
AnthropicModel
The name of the Anthropic model you want your agent to use. By default, your agent will use claude-3-7-latest.
​
secret
string
The name of the secret which contains your Anthropic API key. NOTE: This is the name of the secret, not your actual secret key!

​
Creating the Model

Calling anthropic() with no arguments will use all default values: 
import { Agent, anthropic } from '@ardent-ai/sdk';

const agent = new Agent({
  model: anthropic()
});
Passing a single string argument will set the model name: 
import { Agent, anthropic } from '@ardent-ai/sdk';

const agent = new Agent({
  model: anthropic('claude-4-0-opus')
});
Or, you can set every parameter by passing a configuration object: 
import { Agent, anthropic } from '@ardent-ai/sdk';

const agent = new Agent({
  model: anthropic({
    name: 'claude-4-0-opus',
    secret: 'MY_CUSTOM_ANTHROPIC_SECRET_NAME'
  })
});
