    <Steps>
      <Step>
        Create a `.env` file with you `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`

        <Warning>Make sure you call your environment variable ANTHROPIC\_API\_KEY</Warning>

        ```bash theme={null}
        ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="YOUR-KEY"
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step>
        In your python code, import LLM from llmstudio.

        ```python theme={null}
        from llmstudio import LLM
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step>
        Create your **llm** instance.

        ```python theme={null}
        llm = LLM('anthropic/{model}')
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step>
        **Optional:** You can add your parameters as follows:

        ```python theme={null}
        llm = LLM('anthropic/model', 
        temperature= ...,
        max_tokens= ...,
        top_p= ...,
        frequency_penalty= ...,
        presence_penalty= ...)
