Hello, I just launched my first app. Atmos is your all in one MacOS customizer for wallpaper, background audio, cursor skins, cursor effects, and widgets. I hope you guys get the chance to give the app a try and DM me some reviews.

btw: i understand that this app is new so send me a message and I'll give you a liscense key to use :)

edit: I might be sleeping right now just shoot me a DM and i will send u a key when i wake up
edit2:thanks for testing, from testing and feedback i managed to find some issues.

1. intel and M1 incompatability
2. weird crashes
3. fit and fill ratios
4. tutorial
5. idk actually but i dont wanna delete 5
6. all the above has been fixed

edit3: does anyone have recommendations for other subreddits i can show my app in

edit4: btw new update pushed, just go into your current app's settings and goto the updates page and check new releases, or download the new version from atmos site

I came across a version of Claude Code that runs on Vertex AI instead of Anthropic

Stumbled on this repo and thought it was pretty interesting:

https://github.com/ayellowplum/gemma

Basically someone took Claude Code’s open-source base and replaced the entire auth + API layer so it runs on Google Cloud Vertex AI instead of Anthropic.

What it does

• Removes the need for a Claude API key / Anthropic account
• Uses Google Cloud auth instead
• Connects directly to Vertex AI endpoints
• Works with Gemini models (2.5 Pro, and newer ones coming)

Why it’s interesting

A couple things stood out to me:

• You can use the $300 free GCP credits instead of paying for API usage right away
• Gemini models (especially 2.5 Pro) are getting pretty competitive for coding tasks
• Vertex is generally cheaper depending on usage

At the same time:

• Claude Code has a really clean internal agent system
• Gemini CLI is… not great

So this kind of ends up being:

>

What they changed (from what I can tell)

• Replaced Anthropic auth with Google Cloud auth
• Rewrote API calls to hit Vertex instead of Claude
• Removed Anthropic dependencies
• Adjusted request/response handling for Gemini

When this might be useful

• If you like how Claude Code works but don’t want to rely on Anthropic
• If you want to experiment using free credits first
• If you’re already using GCP / Vertex

Requirements (roughly)

• Google Cloud project
• Vertex AI enabled
• Some basic setup (project ID, region, auth)

It still looks like a work in progress, but the idea is pretty solid.

Curious if anyone here has tried something similar or has thoughts on using Vertex as a backend for coding agents.

I rebuilt Claude Code to run on Google Vertex AI (use your $300 free credits + Gemini 2.5 Pro)

Although you do need to Configure Vertex AI and choose which model you want to use.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a project where I took Claude Code’s open-source base and rebuilt the authentication + API layer to run entirely on Google Cloud Vertex AI.

Repo: https://github.com/ayellowplum/gemmaSupport: https://buymeacoffee.com/ayellowplum

What this is:

• A rebranded version called Gemma
• Based on Claude Code’s architecture (clean, agent-oriented system)
• Fully replaced Anthropic auth + API with Vertex AI

What’s different:

• No Claude API key
• No Anthropic account
• Native Google Cloud / Vertex AI integration
• Uses the $300 free GCP credits
• Works with Gemini models (2.5 Pro, upcoming 3.x, etc.)

Why this matters:

Models like Gemini 2.5 Pro (and upcoming 3.x) are already extremely competitive in real-world coding tasks, and in many cases perform on par with or better than top-tier models like Claude Opus, while also being significantly cheaper.

At the same time:

• Claude Code → very clean internal agent system
• Gemini CLI → currently pretty limited / rough UX

This project combines:

• Claude Code’s architecture + UX
• with Gemini / Vertex’s models + pricing + free credits

What I changed (high level):

• Replaced Anthropic auth with Google Cloud auth
• Rewrote API layer for Vertex endpoints
• Removed Anthropic dependencies entirely
• Adapted request/response handling for Gemini models

Use cases:

• Run a Claude-style coding agent on Gemini
• Use the $300 free credits instead of paying upfront
• Plug into existing GCP workflows
• Experiment with newer Gemini models in a better interface

Requirements:

• Google Cloud project
• Vertex AI enabled
• Basic env setup (project ID, region, auth)
• There is a detailed build tutorial on the repo

Still a work in progress (especially around stability + edge cases), but it’s already usable.

Would love feedback, contributions, or people trying to break it.
