      }
    }
  }
}

Example Usage

Once configured, you can use these commands in Claude:

"List all available Gemma models"
"Chat with gpt-4 and ask it to explain quantum computing"
"Compare responses from claude-3-opus and gpt-4 about climate change"
"Get detailed information about google/gemini-pro"
"Analyze this document and extract all key dates and milestones"
"Search this research paper for information about methodology"
"Summarize this 100-page report focusing on recommendations"

Document Analysis Examples

The new analyze_document tool supports:

• Summarization: Create comprehensive summaries of large documents

• Search: Find specific information across document sections

• Extraction: Extract structured data like dates, names, or custom targets
