Tips and Notes

  • Prompt Caching: Claude 3 models support prompt caching, which can significantly reduce costs and latency for repeated prompts.
  • Context Window: Claude models have large context windows (200,000 tokens), allowing you to include a significant amount of code and context in your prompts.
  • Pricing: Refer to the Anthropic Pricing page for the latest pricing information.
  • Rate Limits: Anthropic has strict rate limits based on usage tiers. If you're repeatedly hitting rate limits, consider contacting Anthropic sales or accessing Claude through a different provider like OpenRouter or Requesty.
