qlaud’s /v1/messages endpoint is a native passthrough for Anthropic upstreams. The body forwards verbatim — cache_control: ephemeral markers, image content blocks, and thinking blocks all preserved.

Python

Node

Prompt cache (the headline feature)

cache_control markers are forwarded to Anthropic verbatim. Tag a system block as ephemeral once, save 75% input cost on every subsequent turn.
The first call writes the cache. Every subsequent call within ~5 minutes reads from cache at ~25% of the input price.

Cross-provider via Anthropic shape

You can pass non-Anthropic model slugs too — qlaud translates the body to the upstream’s shape automatically:
For pure Anthropic calls (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku) the request flows verbatim with no translation overhead.

Tool use

Native — same Anthropic shape. Tool definitions, tool_use content blocks, tool_result content blocks all forwarded.
