Anthropic PDF Input Local

Attach a local PDF file to a Claude prompt and print the response citations.

Anthropic retired the source's dated Sonnet 4 and Opus 4 models on June 15, 2026. Before running your saved copy, replace claude-sonnet-4-20250514 or claude-opus-4-20250514 with the active claude-sonnet-4-6 model. See model lifecycle status.

The source calls get_last_run_output() without a database, so that readback returns None. Add from agno.db.in_memory import InMemoryDb to your saved copy and db=InMemoryDb(), inside Agent(...) before running. This makes the existing readback available during the process. Alternatively, capture the result directly with result = agent.run(...). Citations and provider statistics remain optional response fields.
