Google Vertex AI
Google Vertex AI is a fully managed machine learning and AI development platform offered by Google Cloud. It integrates a complete MLOps workflow covering data preparation, model training, model evaluation, and deployment. The platform supports custom model training and access to Google's pretrained large language models such as the Gemini series, while providing enterprise-grade security and compliance, service-level agreements (SLAs), and deep integration with the Google Cloud ecosystem.
Core Facts
Anthropic provides model access through its own API platform and cloud service channels such as Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud Vertex AI
The default models of multiple Providers have changed: Cortecs, CrossModel, Eden AI, Google Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Google Vertex AI, LLM Gateway, Ofox, OpenCode Go, and Prime Inference now default to Gemini 4 Argon; Fireworks AI, Nebius Token Factory, and Requesty switch to Muse Spark Open; CoreWeave, DigitalOcean, NanoGPT, and Nvidia adopt Nemotron 3.5 Super VL; Aixy and Neon use Claude Haiku 5.5; Agnes AI, Ambient, IteraCompute, Poe, Scaleway, and SenseNova also have their own adjustments.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Configuring Monitor on Vertex and Foundry relies on the access control systems of Google Cloud and Azure, respectively.
For teams already running Claude Code on Bedrock or Vertex, they can enable Monitor capabilities without migrating to the official API.
Under the cloud platform access model, some new features often launch first on Anthropic's official API and are then gradually adapted to each cloud platform, so there is a time lag in feature availability.
Before version 2.1.310, the Monitor tool was unavailable on Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Azure AI Foundry.
Claude Code version 2.1.310 extends the Monitor tool and plugin monitoring capability to Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Azure AI Foundry.
Third-party platforms were less affected by the incorrect routing: on Amazon Bedrock, misrouted traffic peaked at 0.18% of all Sonnet 4 requests; on Google Vertex AI, fewer than 0.0004% of requests were affected between August 27 and September 16, 2025.

The default models of providers including 302.AI, Cortecs, CrossModel, DevPass, DigitalOcean, Eden AI, GitHub Copilot, Google Vertex AI, LLM Gateway, Meta, Moark, NanoGPT, NEAR AI Cloud, Neuralwatt, Novita AI, Ofox, OpenCode Go, Requesty, and Vivgrid have changed, with most switching to Claude Haiku 5.5 or Muse Wonder 1.0.
Cline itself does not train models, but acts as a client forwarding requests to various providers (such as OpenRouter, GitHub Copilot, Google Vertex AI, DigitalOcean, etc.).
The focus of this round of Google Vertex AI updates is introducing more large language models (LLMs) and diffusion models, giving developers greater freedom of combination and thereby covering richer multimodal scenarios.
