Usage

import { AnthropicLLM } from "@memberjunction/ai-anthropic";

const llm = new AnthropicLLM("your-anthropic-api-key");

const result = await llm.ChatCompletion({
    model: "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    messages: [
        { role: "user", content: "Explain quantum computing in simple terms." },
    ],
    temperature: 0.7,
    maxOutputTokens: 1024,
});

console.log(result.data.choices[0].message.content);
Copy

Streaming

const result = await llm.ChatCompletion({
    model: "claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Write a short story." }],
    streaming: true,
    streamingCallbacks: {
        OnContent: (content) => process.stdout.write(content),

    },
});
Copy

Extended Thinking

const result = await llm.ChatCompletion({
    model: "claude-opus-4-20250514",
    messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Solve this step by step: ..." }],
    effortLevel: "80",
});

// Access thinking content alongside the response
console.log("Thinking:", result.data.choices[0].message.thinking);
console.log("Answer:", result.data.choices[0].message.content);
