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.
1. Package Installation
Install LLMSlim and the official Anthropic SDK using your package manager:
terminal
pip install llmslim2. Architecture & Execution Flow
STEP 01
1. Retrieve or construct application context.
STEP 02
2. Label provenance accurately and compress with LLMSlim.
STEP 03
3. Send the resulting text to the provider SDK.
STEP 04
4. Apply application-level policy and output validation.
3. Production Code Pattern
Complete, runnable implementation wrapper for Anthropic:
anthropic_app.py
from llmslim import compress
result = compress(long_context, target_ratio=0.5)
# Pass result.compressed_text to your Anthropic SDK request.4. Production Deployment Best Practices
Use LLMSlim in your Python application before constructing the provider request. Measure target workloads before choosing a compression ratio.
5. Key Optimization Tips
- 01.Use compress_documents() for retrieved documents; it defaults to RAG provenance.
- 02.Leave system messages unchanged by default in compress_chat_messages().
- 03.Do not treat compression as a complete prompt-injection defense.
6. Performance Metrics & Benchmark Matrix
| Metric Dimension | Uncompressed Payload | LLMSlim Compressed | Recorded Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| v0.4.0 release gate | N/A | 489 tests passed | 90.93% coverage; 375 schemas across 18 catalogs |
7. Frequently Asked Questions
Is an Anthropic-specific LLMSlim package required?
No. LLMSlim is provider-agnostic and does not bundle provider SDKs.
8. Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
Issue: Unexpected compression result
Solution: Check target_ratio, role labels, and whether the input is long enough to benefit from compression.
