+## Add missing AnthropicModels type export
+
+### WHAT
+
+Added new `AnthropicModels` **type** export to the public API of `@tanstack/ai-anthropic`. This is a union type that represents all supported Anthropic model identifiers, derived from the internal `ANTHROPIC_MODELS` const tuple.
+
+```typescript
+export type AnthropicModels = (typeof ANTHROPIC_MODELS)[number]
+// Equivalent to: 'claude-opus-4-5' | 'claude-sonnet-4-5' | 'claude-haiku-4-5' | ... (and more)
+```
+
+**Note:** The `ANTHROPIC_MODELS` const tuple itself remains internal and is not exported. Only the derived type is part of the public API.
+
+### WHY
+
+Consumers previously had no easy way to get the type-safe union of model names for use in function signatures and variable declarations.
+
+### HOW - Consumers Should Update
+
+Now you can import and use `AnthropicModels` for proper type safety when creating adapter instances:
+
+```typescript
+import { createAnthropicChat, AnthropicModels } from '@tanstack/ai-anthropic'
+
+const adapter = (model: AnthropicModels) =>
+  createAnthropicChat(model, process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!, {
+    // ... your config options
+  })
+
+const stream = chat({
+  adapter: adapter('claude-sonnet-4-5'), // Type-checked model selection!
+  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello!' }],
+})
+```
+
+The type ensures only valid Anthropic model identifiers can be passed, preventing runtime errors.
+
+### Breaking Change
+
+`createAnthropicChat` now requires the model as the first parameter. If you were calling it without a model parameter, you must update your code:
+
+**Before:**
+
+```typescript
+const adapter = createAnthropicChat(process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!, {
+  // ... config
+})
+```
+
+**After:**
+
+```typescript
+const adapter = createAnthropicChat(
+  'claude-sonnet-4-5',
+  process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
+  {
+    // ... config
+  },
+)
+```
