If the request input messages ended with an assistant turn, then the response content will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.
For example, if the input messages were:
[
{"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}

BetaUsage usageBilling and rate-limit usage.
Billing and rate-limit usage.
Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.
Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in usage will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.
For example, output_tokens will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.
Total input tokens in a request is the summation of input_tokens, cache_creation_input_tokens, and cache_read_input_tokens.

Billing and rate-limit usage.
Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.
Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in usage will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.
For example, output_tokens will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.
Total input tokens in a request is the summation of input_tokens, cache_creation_input_tokens, and cache_read_input_tokens.

Example:

If the request input messages ended with an assistant turn, then the response content will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.
For example, if the input messages were:
[
{"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}

For example, if the input messages were:
[
{"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}

BetaUsage usageBilling and rate-limit usage.
Billing and rate-limit usage.
Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.
Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in usage will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.
For example, output_tokens will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.
Total input tokens in a request is the summation of input_tokens, cache_creation_input_tokens, and cache_read_input_tokens.
Optional<BetaCacheCreation> cacheCreationBreakdown of cached tokens by TTL

- Understand token accumulation across server-side tool use loops

Example:
[{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}]
If the request input messages ended with an assistant turn, then the response content will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.
For example, if the input messages were:
[
{"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
{"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}
]
Then the response content might be:
[{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}]

BetaUsage usageBilling and rate-limit usage.
Billing and rate-limit usage.
Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.
Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in usage will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.
For example, output_tokens will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.
Total input tokens in a request is the summation of input_tokens, cache_creation_input_tokens, and cache_read_input_tokens.
