Requires SocialMate 3. The Claude Agent arrives with SocialMate 3 — coming very soon. Today’s download is SocialMate 2; the app offers the update to 3 when it is released (on a server, update with your usual command).
The Claude Agent is built on Anthropic’s Claude Agent SDK, and the model it thinks with is your choice. You add a provider with your own API key, pay that provider directly, and SocialMate keeps the key encrypted on your machine. The app always shows the model separately (“Model: DeepSeek V4.1 Flash”) — a model is never presented as Claude unless it is one.
Chat-model providers
- Anthropic (Claude) — Sonnet 5.5 (recommended), Haiku 4.5, Opus 5.5, Fable 5.1.
- DeepSeek — V4.1 Flash (recommended, the low-cost option) and V4 Pro, through DeepSeek’s Anthropic-compatible endpoint.
- OpenRouter — Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-5 mini, Gemini 3 Flash, or any OpenRouter model id that supports tool use.
- Ollama (local) — Qwen 2.5 7B or Llama 3.1 8B on your own machine. No key and no per-token cost.
- Moonshot (Kimi), Z.ai (GLM) and MiniMax.
- Custom — any endpoint that speaks the Anthropic Messages API, such as a gateway you run.
Test first. A model outside Anthropic must pass Save & test connection — including “tool use works” — before an agent can go live on it.
Voice notes and photos
To hear voice notes, see photos with a text-only model, or reply with a voice note, add a key for a voice/photo service such as OpenAI or Groq. You can also pick a cheaper fallback model that takes over when a budget limit is reached.
