Problem

I have a a script that uses multiple LLMs such as gemini, gpt and claude. I am actually not using claude but the code is still there in case I want. Now, while updating the google genai sdk with pip install google-genai, Claude suddenly stopped working. I haven't touched the part of Claude. The only thing I did was the pip install for google-genai. So, not sure if that is at all related but besides that I have not done any changes. Using version 0.39.0 of anthropic [code block] Inside llm_configs I have this: [code block] If I uncomment CLAUDE_CLIENT it works.

Error Output

Error: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'proxies'
