Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Anthropic Claude models on Google Cloud Vertex AI for pi.

Prerequisites

  • Google Cloud project with Vertex AI API enabled
  • Claude models enabled in Model Garden
  • gcloud CLI installed and authenticated

How it works

This extension injects an AnthropicVertex client into pi's built-in anthropic-messages streaming implementation. All message transformation, prompt caching, tool call normalization, thinking block replay, partial JSON streaming, and usage tracking are handled by pi's battle-tested internals, nothing is reimplemented.

Other Vertex AI extensions (pi-vertex-claude, pi-vertex, pi-anthropic-vertex) reimplement the Anthropic streaming protocol from scratch at 500–1500 lines, losing features like prompt caching, tool call adjacency enforcement, aborted message filtering, and partial JSON parsing. This extension delegates to pi's built-in at ~160 lines and inherits everything for free.

Model definitions are pulled at runtime from pi's built-in Anthropic provider via getModels("anthropic"), so new Claude models are picked up automatically when pi updates.

Install

pi install npm:@twogiants/pi-anthropic-vertex

Or install from git:

pi install git:github.com/twoGiants/pi-anthropic-vertex

Setup

Authenticate with Google Cloud:

gcloud auth application-default login

Set your project and region:

export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=your-project-id
export GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION=us-east5  # optional, defaults to us-east5

Usage

pi --provider anthropic-vertex --model claude-opus-4-6
pi --provider anthropic-vertex --model claude-sonnet-4-6

All Claude models available on Vertex AI are registered automatically.
