The Anthropic Claude models on Vertex AI offer fully managed and serverless models as APIs. To use a Claude model on Vertex AI, send a request directly to the Vertex AI API endpoint. Because the Anthropic Claude models use a managed API, there's no need to provision or manage infrastructure.
You can stream your Claude responses to reduce the end-user latency perception. A streamed response uses server-sent events (SSE) to incrementally stream the response.
The following models are available from Anthropic to use in Vertex AI. To access a Claude model, go to its Model Garden model card.
Anthropic's Claude models support Vertex AI request-response logging. Enable 30-day request-response logging of your prompt and completion activity to track any model misuse by your users. For more information, see Log requests and responses.
