Is an Anthropic-specific LLMSlim package required?

No. LLMSlim is provider-agnostic and does not bundle provider SDKs.

LLM ProviderPython integration

LLMSlim + Anthropic

Prepare long Python-managed context before an Anthropic SDK request.

Use the same Python LLMSlim API with your Anthropic client.

Install LLMSlim and the official Anthropic SDK using your package manager.

terminalbash

pip install llmslim

1. Retrieve or construct application context.

2. Label provenance accurately and compress with LLMSlim.

3. Send the resulting text to the provider SDK.

4. Apply application-level policy and output validation.

anthropic_app.pypython

from llmslim import compress

result = compress(long_context, target_ratio=0.5)
# Pass result.compressed_text to your Anthropic SDK request.

Use LLMSlim in your Python application before constructing the provider request. Measure target workloads before choosing a compression ratio.

Use compress_documents() for retrieved documents; it defaults to RAG provenance.
Leave system messages unchanged by default in compress_chat_messages().
Do not treat compression as a complete prompt-injection defense.

Unexpected compression result

Check target_ratio, role labels, and whether the input is long enough to benefit from compression.
