+## Anthropic Claude
+
+**llmcpp** now includes full support for [Anthropic's Claude models](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models/overview) via the Messages API.
+
+### Basic Anthropic Usage
+
+```cpp
+#include <llmcpp.h>
+
+int main() {
+    // Create Anthropic client
+    llmcpp::AnthropicClient client("your-anthropic-api-key");
+
+    // Method 1: Using Model enum (recommended)
+    LLMRequestConfig config;
+    config.model = Anthropic::toString(Anthropic::Model::CLAUDE_HAIKU_3_5);
+    config.maxTokens = 100;
+
+    LLMRequest request(config, "Write a haiku about programming.");
+    auto response = client.sendRequest(request);
+
+    if (response.success) {
+        std::cout << "Response: " << response.result["text"].get<std::string>() << std::endl;
+        std::cout << "Usage: " << response.usage.toString() << std::endl;
+    }
+
+    return 0;
+}
+```
+
+### Direct Anthropic Messages API
+
+```cpp
+// Use the native Anthropic Messages API
+Anthropic::MessagesRequest request;
+request.model = "claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022";
+request.maxTokens = 150;
+
+// Add user message
+Anthropic::Message userMsg;
+userMsg.role = Anthropic::MessageRole::USER;
+userMsg.content.push_back({.type = "text", .text = "Explain quantum computing"});
+request.messages.push_back(userMsg);
+
+auto response = client.sendMessagesRequest(request);
+
+for (const auto& content : response.content) {
+    if (content.type == "text") {
+        std::cout << content.text << std::endl;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Available Claude Models

+
+### Using ClientFactory with Anthropic
+
+```cpp
+// Create client via factory
+auto client = llmcpp::ClientFactory::createClient("anthropic", "your-api-key");
+
+// Use common LLMRequest interface
+LLMRequestConfig config;
+config.model = "claude-3-5-haiku-20241022";
+config.maxTokens = 100;
+
+LLMRequest request(config, "Hello, Claude!");
+auto response = client->sendRequest(request);
+```
+
+> **Note:** For the latest Claude model recommendations and capabilities, consult the [Anthropic documentation](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models/overview).
+

+
+## 🚀 Performance Benchmarks
+
+The `llmcpp` library includes comprehensive benchmarks comparing OpenAI and Anthropic models across different tasks. Run benchmarks with:
+
+```bash
+# Set environment variables
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-key"
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-anthropic-key"
+export LLMCPP_RUN_BENCHMARKS=1
+
+# Run unified benchmarks
+./tests/llmcpp_tests "[unified][benchmark]"
+```
+
+### 🏆 Performance Leaders
