What Claude is and where you can use it
Anthropic, the basic idea of an LLM, Claude's key strengths, and all the entry points (apps, Claude Code, API, cloud) that build the same Messages API request.

How the request and context window are built
The API is stateless, so the full context is sent every time; the tools, system, messages order; tokens and the context window.

Gateway, model and response: a request's journey
The request passes the gateway, then the model (tokenizer, transformer, thinking, generation), and the response returns as JSON or an SSE stream.
