        The Text Completions API is a legacy API. We recommend using the [Messages API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/messages) going forward.


        Future models and features will not be compatible with Text Completions. See our [migration guide](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/working-with-messages) for guidance in migrating from Text Completions to Messages.'
