# Announcing Anthropic Claude Support! 🎉

By Daniel Chalef · Aug 15, 2023 · https://www.getzep.com/blog/announcing-anthropic-llm-support/ · Tags: Integrations, Product updates

Zep v0.10.0, released today, supports Anthropic's Claude family of LLMs for summarization and extraction tasks.

[Anthropic's Claude family](https://www.anthropic.com/product) of LLMs offers companies a safer and very capable alternative to other LLM-as-a-Service vendors. Claude's massive 100K token window is ideal for Zep's summarization and language extraction tasks. Support for the `claude-2` and `claude-instant-1` models is now available in [Zep v0.10.0](https://github.com/getzep/zep/releases/tag/v0.10.0).

## Configuring Zep to use Claude

Modify your `config.yaml` file, setting `llm.service` to `anthropic` and `llm.model` to either `claude-2` or `claude-instant-1`.

Please see [Zep's config documentation](https://docs.getzep.com/deployment/config/) for more details, including how to use environment variables to do the above.

### OpenAI Model Updates

Zep now also supports several new OpenAI model variants. The full list of models may be found below. See the [Zep's config documentation](https://docs.getzep.com/deployment/config/) for details on how to configure these.

| Provider | Model |
| --- | --- |
| OpenAI | gpt-3.5-turbo |
| OpenAI | gpt-3.5-turbo-16k |
| OpenAI | gpt-4 |
| OpenAI | gpt-4-32k |
| Anthropic | claude-instant-1 |
| Anthropic | claude-2 |

### Zep Server v0.10.0 Improvements and Bug Fixes

Zep includes the following improvements and bug fixes:

- **OpenAI API call reliability**: API throttling and service availability issues can be problematic for production services. Zep now has improved support for HTTP 429 and 503 `Retry-After` directives.
- **Session Deletion Behavior Change**: Persisting memory to a soft-deleted session no longer results in an error. Doing so will now undelete the `Session`, but keep the previously deleted `Memory` messages soft-deleted. These messages will be hard deleted when a subsequent Purge task runs.

Additional details on minor bug fixes and improvements may be found in the [v0.10.0 Release Notes.](https://github.com/getzep/zep/releases/tag/v0.10.0)
