Introduction

This article provides instructions for accessing the Claude 3 API through AiSudo. AiSudo offers a simplified interface for connecting to third-party AI providers, including Anthropic's Claude 3 language model.

Step by Step - How to use Claude 3 via AiSudo

Get your API at Anthropic

• Go to https://console.anthropic.com/settings/keys
• Click "+ Create Key"
• Copy and save this API KEY, you will not be able to view it again.

If haven't use Anthropic's API before, you need to activate the free plan:

• Click "Claim"

Setup AiSudo App

1. Open AiSudo App

   • Click "+ New Session"
   • Click "3rd Party API"
   • Select "Claude 3 - Anthropic", this API has 2 configurations:
     • Desktop Configuration: Your request will be sent directly to Anthropic. Use this if you are using the AiSudo desktop version. This connection is faster and more efficient.
     • Web Configuration: Your request will be routed to the AiSudo server first, then to Anthropic. This is because the Anthropic API does not support CORS.
       For details, see: https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-typescript/issues/219

2. After the session is created:

   • Click "Settings" (if you're on mobile)
   • Paste the API Key from Anthropic into the "API KEY" field.

The image above shows a successful API connection to Claude 3 via AiSudo. Use this as a reference to confirm that your configuration is correct. In the screenshot, the model is instructed to be a puns generator (using System Instruction Parameter), and the AI will respond accordingly for the rest of the conversation.

Available Setting Parameters

This is the list of available setting parameters on the AiSudo app for this model:

• System Instruction: Instructions that guide the AI's behavior and output.
• Chat History: The previous messages in a conversation. This give context for the AI's responses.
• Max Tokens: Sets a limit on the number of tokens (words or characters) in the output response.
• Temperature: Controls the randomness of the AI's response ( Higher = more creative, Lower = more conservative).

The list might be expanded with additional parameters in the future.

API Access

API access refers to the method of interacting with a software application or service programmatically. An API (Application Programming Interface) acts as a bridge, allowing different software systems to communicate and exchange data with the service provider.

In the context of AiSudo and Claude 3:

1. API Key: To access Claude 3 via AiSudo, users need an API key from Anthropic.
2. Authentication: The API key serves as a unique identifier, authenticating the user's requests to Claude 3.
3. Request/Response: Users send requests to Claude 3 through the AiSudo app and receive responses containing the AI-generated content.
4. Integration: AiSudo simplifies this process by handling the API communication, allowing users to interact with Claude 3 without directly managing API calls.
5. Security: API keys should be kept confidential to prevent unauthorized access to the service.

Custom Configuration

If you want to change the parameters, you can configure the connection manually using a JSON file. The file can be found at:
