add anthropic native support

[victordibia]

Claude 3.7 just came out. Its a pretty capable model and it would be great to support it in Autogen.
This will could augment the already excellent support we have for Anthropic via the SKAdapters in the following ways

• Based on the ChatCompletion API similar to the ollama and openai client
• Configurable/serializable (can be dumped) .. this means it can be used easily in AGS.

What is Supported

Uploading anthropic_tool_calling.mov…

• streaming
• tool callign / function calling
• drop in integration with assistant agent.

from dotenv import load_dotenv
import os 

load_dotenv()

from autogen_agentchat.agents import AssistantAgent
from autogen_agentchat.ui import Console
from autogen_ext.models.openai import OpenAIChatCompletionClient
from autogen_ext.models.anthropic import AnthropicChatCompletionClient 
model_client =   AnthropicChatCompletionClient(
        model="claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219" 
    )

async def get_weather(city: str) -> str:
    """Get the weather for a given city."""
    return f"The weather in {city} is 73 degrees and Sunny."

 
agent = AssistantAgent(
    name="weather_agent",
    model_client=model_client,
    tools=[get_weather],
    system_message="You are a helpful assistant.", 
    # model_client_stream=True,   
)

# Run the agent and stream the messages to the console.
async def main() -> None:
    await Console(agent.run_stream(task="What is the weather in New York?"))
await main()

result

messages = [
    UserMessage(content="Write a very short story about a dragon.", source="user"),
]

# Create a stream.
stream = model_client.create_stream(messages=messages)

# Iterate over the stream and print the responses.
print("Streamed responses:")
async for response in stream:  # type: ignore
    if isinstance(response, str):
        # A partial response is a string.
        print(response, flush=True, end="")
    else:
        # The last response is a CreateResult object with the complete message.
        print("\n\n------------\n")
        print("The complete response:", flush=True)
        print(response.content, flush=True)
        print("\n\n------------\n")
        print("The token usage was:", flush=True)
        print(response.usage, flush=True)

TBD
