Create message (Anthropic)

Sends a structured list of input messages and generates the next message in the conversation. This is the Anthropic Messages API. Reasoning behavior mirrors the Chat Completions API: corti-s1 and corti-s1-mini generate chain-of-thought reasoning, while -instant variants do not. However, the Anthropic Messages API response does not expose reasoning as a separate field — content is returned as text blocks only.
