# Claude on Vertex AI¶

Anthropic's Claude models are available through [Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai).¶

---¶

The Vertex API for accessing Claude is nearly-identical to the [Messages API](/docs/en/api/messages/create) and supports all of the same options, with two key differences:¶

* In Vertex, `model` is not passed in the request body. Instead, it is specified in the Google Cloud endpoint URL.¶
* In Vertex, `anthropic_version` is passed in the request body (rather than as a header), and must be set to the value `vertex-2023-10-16`.¶

Vertex is also supported by Anthropic's official [client SDKs](/docs/en/api/client-sdks). This guide walks you through making a request to Claude on Vertex AI using one of Anthropic's client SDKs.¶

Note that this guide assumes you already have a GCP project that is able to use Vertex AI. See [Anthropic Claude models on Vertex AI](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/partner-models/use-claude) for more information on the setup required and a full walkthrough.¶

## Install an SDK for accessing Vertex AI¶

First, install Anthropic's [client SDK](/docs/en/api/client-sdks) for your language of choice.¶

## Accessing Vertex AI¶

### Model availability¶

Note that Anthropic model availability varies by region. Search for "Claude" in the [Vertex AI Model Garden](https://cloud.google.com/model-garden) or go to [Anthropic Claude models](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/partner-models/use-claude) for the latest information.¶

#### API model IDs¶

Lifecycle terms (Deprecated, Retired) are defined in [Model deprecations](/docs/en/about-claude/model-deprecations); a "Retiring" annotation gives the platform's announced retirement date. The dates in the following table are the **Vertex AI** schedule, which Google Cloud sets independently. A model's lifecycle status and dates here can differ from the Anthropic-operated schedule on the Model deprecations page.¶

| Model | Vertex AI API model ID |¶

| Claude Opus 4.7 | claude-opus-4-7 |¶
| Claude Opus 4.6 | claude-opus-4-6 |¶

### Making requests¶

Before running requests you may need to run `gcloud auth application-default login` to authenticate with GCP.¶

The following examples show how to generate text from Claude on Vertex AI:¶
<CodeGroup>¶


```bash cURL nocheck¶

</CodeGroup>¶

See the [client SDKs](/docs/en/api/client-sdks) and the official [Vertex AI docs](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs) for more details.¶

Claude is also available through [Amazon Bedrock](/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-in-amazon-bedrock), [Claude Platform on AWS](/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-platform-on-aws), and [Microsoft Foundry](/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-in-microsoft-foundry).¶

## Activity logging¶

Vertex provides a [request-response logging service](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/request-response-logging) that allows customers to log the prompts and completions associated with your usage.¶

Anthropic recommends that you log your activity on at least a 30-day rolling basis in order to understand your activity and investigate any potential misuse.¶

<Note>¶
Turning on this service does not give Google or Anthropic any access to your content.¶
</Note>¶

## Feature support¶
For all currently supported features on Vertex AI, see [API features overview](/docs/en/build-with-claude/overview).¶

### Context window¶

Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Opus 4.6, and Claude Sonnet 4.6 have a [1M-token context window](/docs/en/build-with-claude/context-windows) on Vertex AI. Other Claude models, including Sonnet 4.5 and Sonnet 4 (deprecated), have a 200k-token context window.¶

Vertex AI limits request payloads to 30 MB. When sending large documents or many images, you may reach this limit before the token limit.¶

## Global, multi-region, and regional endpoints¶

Vertex AI offers three endpoint types:¶

- **Global endpoints:** Dynamic routing for maximum availability¶
- **Multi-region endpoints:** Dynamic routing within a geographic area (for example, the United States or the European Union) for data residency with high availability¶
- **Regional endpoints:** Guaranteed data routing through specific geographic regions¶

Regional and multi-region endpoints include a 10% pricing premium over global endpoints.¶

<Note>¶
This applies to Claude Sonnet 4.5 and future models only. Older models (Claude Sonnet 4 (deprecated), Opus 4 (deprecated), and earlier) maintain their existing pricing structures.¶
</Note>¶

### When to use each option¶

**Global endpoints (recommended):**¶
- Provide maximum availability and uptime¶
- Dynamically route requests to regions with available capacity¶
- No pricing premium¶
- Best for applications where data residency is flexible¶
- Only supports pay-as-you-go traffic (provisioned throughput requires regional endpoints)¶

**Multi-region endpoints:**¶
- Dynamically route requests across regions within a geographic area (currently `us` and `eu`)¶
- Useful when you need data residency within a broad geography but want higher availability than a single region¶
- 10% pricing premium over global endpoints¶
- Only supports pay-as-you-go traffic (provisioned throughput requires regional endpoints)¶

**Regional endpoints:**¶
- Route traffic through specific geographic regions¶
- Required for single-region data residency, strict compliance mandates, or provisioned throughput¶
- Support both pay-as-you-go and provisioned throughput¶
- 10% pricing premium reflects infrastructure costs for dedicated regional capacity¶

### Implementation¶

**Using global endpoints (recommended):**¶

Set the `region` parameter to `"global"` when initializing the client:¶

<CodeGroup>¶

```bash CLI¶
# The ant CLI does not support Vertex AI.¶
```¶

```python Python nocheck¶
from anthropic import AnthropicVertex¶

project_id = "MY_PROJECT_ID"¶
region = "global"¶

client = AnthropicVertex(project_id=project_id, region=region)¶

message = client.messages.create(¶
model="claude-opus-4-7",¶
max_tokens=100,¶
messages=[¶
{¶
"role": "user",¶
"content": "Hey Claude!",¶
}¶
],¶
)¶
print(message)¶
```¶

```typescript TypeScript nocheck¶
import { AnthropicVertex } from "@anthropic-ai/vertex-sdk";¶

const projectId = "MY_PROJECT_ID";¶
const region = "global";¶

const client = new AnthropicVertex({¶
projectId,¶
region¶
});¶

const result = await client.messages.create({¶
model: "claude-opus-4-7",¶
max_tokens: 100,¶
messages: [¶
{¶
role: "user",¶
content: "Hey Claude!"¶
}¶
]¶
});¶
```¶

```csharp C# nocheck¶
using Anthropic;¶
using Anthropic.Models.Messages;¶
using Anthropic.Vertex;¶

var projectId = "MY_PROJECT_ID";¶
var region = "global";¶

var client = new AnthropicClient¶
{¶
Backend = new VertexBackend(projectId, region)¶
};¶

var parameters = new MessageCreateParams¶
{¶
Model = Model.ClaudeOpus4_7,¶

puts message.content.first.text¶
```¶
</CodeGroup>¶

**Using multi-region endpoints:**¶

Set the `region` parameter to a multi-region identifier: `"us"` for the United States or `"eu"` for the European Union. The SDK routes requests to the corresponding multi-region endpoint (`https://aiplatform.us.rep.googleapis.com` or `https://aiplatform.eu.rep.googleapis.com`), which dynamically balances traffic across regions within that geography.¶

 #### API model IDs
 
+Lifecycle terms (Deprecated, Retired) are defined in [Model deprecations](/docs/en/about-claude/model-deprecations); a "Retiring" annotation gives the platform's announced retirement date. The dates in the following table are the **Vertex AI** schedule, which Google Cloud sets independently. A model's lifecycle status and dates here can differ from the Anthropic-operated schedule on the Model deprecations page.
