## What it is
The official Go SDK for accessing Anthropic's Claude language model APIs. It provides typed clients for messages, streaming, and other Claude API endpoints from Go applications.

## Use cases
- call the claude api from go
- send chat messages to anthropic models in a go backend
- stream llm responses in a go service
- integrate claude into a go application
- build an ai-powered go cli

## When to choose
- your application is written in Go and needs Claude API access
- you want an officially maintained, typed client instead of raw HTTP calls
- you need streaming and message APIs with idiomatic Go types

## When to avoid
- you use another language like Python or TypeScript
- you need a multi-provider LLM abstraction rather than Anthropic-specific APIs
- you want a self-hosted model runtime rather than an API client
