Anthropic has released a new version of its Claude API, dated October 21, 2026, introducing several breaking changes. Key modifications include the removal of `temperature`, `top_p`, and `top_k` parameters, which will now result in a 400 error. Additionally, `document` blocks in assistant messages and `citations` within user message text blocks are no longer supported and will also return a 400 error. The API also includes renames for fields in the Admin API and Enterprise Analytics API. Developers can opt into this new version by setting the `anthropic-version` header or by updating to the latest major versions of the official SDKs. AI
IMPACT Developers integrating with the Claude API must update their SDKs or explicitly manage the `anthropic-version` header to avoid errors caused by removed parameters and unsupported message formats.
