Anthropic's API and SDKs let customers control fallback behavior, including disabling fallbacks, managing them themselves, or re-prompting the same model.

“So going back to that bio homework scenario, while we may have classifiers that have detected that it is possibly bio- I'll also say, like, the, on the API, we went with a spectrum of solutions for this for customers.”

“So first of all, like, if you've built something on the API and you run into a block, like, you don't have to, like, continue the conversation on a fallback.”

“That's what we've done in our apps, and we've made that a feature of the API, and you can do it, like, server side within our API. You can choose to, like, set, "I want to do the fallbacks," right?”

“And, like, we'll do that. We also have it within our SDKs on the client side. There's helpers for if you want to, like, manage fallbacks in various ways.”

“Or you could choose to, like, re-prompt differently in some way, right, and, and continue with the same model.”
