# Anthropic

> Anthropic is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 7.3k installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

Anthropic is a built-in Home Assistant integration that connects the system to Anthropic's cloud service. It is set up in the UI by entering an Anthropic API key. Because it ships with Home Assistant, nothing extra has to be installed. Connection settings can be changed later without removing the integration. It can show a notice under Settings, Repairs when a model in use has been deprecated. A diagnostics file can be downloaded to attach to a bug report.
