Migrate from OpenAI to Anthropic
Overview
Migrate from OpenAI/GPT to Anthropic/Claude. Covers the complete API mapping (endpoints, models, response shapes), SDK swap with before/after code, five key differences (max_tokens required, system as top-level param, alternating messages, response path, streaming events), and tool use migration.
API Mapping
| OpenAI | Anthropic | Notes |
|---|
openai.chat.completions.create() | anthropic.messages.create() | Different request/response shape |
model: 'gpt-4o' | model: 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514' | Different model IDs |
response.choices[0].message.content | response.content[0].text | Different response path |
system in messages array | system as separate parameter | Claude uses top-level system |
response_format: { type: 'json_object' } | System prompt: "Respond in JSON only" | No native JSON mode |
tools / function_calling | tools (similar but different schema) | Input schema differences |
openai.embeddings.create() | N/A — use Voyage or Cohere | No embeddings API |
SDK Swap
Instructions
Step 1: Before (OpenAI)
import OpenAI from 'openai';
const openai = new OpenAI();
const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
model: 'gpt-4o',
messages: [
{ : , : },
{ : , : },
],
});
.(response.[]..);
