Developer Guide

Essential preparation strategies for Neptune v3 integration and optimization

Prepare Use Cases in Advance

  • Organize high-context requirements like long contracts and source code repositories
  • Prepare chunking strategies for quick A/B testing upon release
  • Evaluate current application token usage

API Compatibility

  • Following Anthropic's pattern, new models can use model parameter replacement
  • Function calling schema remains largely unchanged
  • Prepare API migration and version management strategies

Safety Strategy Testing

  • Prepare prompt-hacking/jailbreaking test scripts
  • Verify Constitutional AI v3 guardrail impacts
  • Ensure business processes aren't disrupted by security mechanisms

Budget & Access

  • Reserve trial quotas, calculate per-token cost differences
  • Monitor access methods: Claude.ai Web, official API, AWS Bedrock, etc.
  • Consider third-party aggregation platform payment solutions
