Set up your virtual environment
uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activateInstall dependencies
uv pip install -U agno anthropicExport environment variables
export ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY="your_anthropic_foundry_api_key_here"
export ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_RESOURCE="your_anthropic_foundry_resource_here"Select the Claude deployment
Deploy Claude Sonnet 4.6 in the resource named by ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_RESOURCE. This variable takes the resource name, not the full endpoint URL. Set ANTHROPIC_FOUNDRY_API_KEY to that resource's key.
The source assumes the deployment is named claude-sonnet-4-6. If you chose another name, replace the model's id with your deployment name while retaining the other model settings. See Claude deployment and inference setup.
Run the example
Save the code above as thinking.py, then run:
