Available Anthropic Models

Jan automatically includes Anthropic's available models. In case you want to use a specific Anthropic model that you cannot find in Jan, follow instructions in Manual Setup to add custom models:

  • See list of available models in Anthropic Models (opens in a new tab).
  • The id property must match the model name in the list. For example, claude-3-opus-20240229, claude-3-sonnet-20240229, or claude-2.1.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

1. API Key Issues

  • Verify your API key is correct and not expired
  • Check if you have billing set up on your Anthropic account
  • Ensure you have access to the model you're trying to use

2. Connection Problems

  • Check your internet connection
  • Verify Anthropic's system status
  • Look for error messages in Jan's logs

3. Model Unavailable

  • Confirm your API key has access to the model
  • Check if you're using the correct model ID
  • Verify your Anthropic account has the necessary permissions
