Anthropic
To work with Anthropic’s models, you need to provide your
Anthropic API key
either in the ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
environment variable or
via the --anthropic-api-key
command line switch.
Aider has some built in shortcuts for the most popular Anthropic models and has been tested and benchmarked to work well with them:
pip install aider-chat
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<key> # Mac/Linux
setx ANTHROPIC_API_KEY <key> # Windows
# Aider uses Claude 3.5 Sonnet by default (or use --sonnet)
aider
# Claude 3 Opus
aider --opus
# List models available from Anthropic
aider --models anthropic/
You can use aider --model <model-name>
to use any other Anthropic model.
For example, if you want to use a specific version of Opus
you could do aider --model claude-3-opus-20240229
