Usage and Cost Analytics API launched in beta to track token consumption and costs
Anthropic released the Usage and Cost Analytics API in beta, enabling organizations to monitor token usage and costs across Claude API consumption with filtering and grouping by dimensions like model, workspace, and API key. The API provides /v1/organizations/analytics/usage and /v1/organizations/analytics/cost endpoints. Legacy usage reporting endpoints remain supported.
Messages API and Token Counting API maximum request size increased to 128 MB
The maximum request size for the Messages API and Token Counting API doubled from 32 MB to 128 MB on the first-party Claude API, allowing developers to process significantly larger payloads in single requests. This change takes effect immediately and applies to both APIs.
Clone strength control added for v4 Professional Voice Clones
Text to Speech and Text to Dialogue endpoints now accept clone_strength parameter (0–1) to control how closely v4-finetuned clones follow training samples. Recommended value is 0 for most use cases.
