Why are these changes needed?

This PR adds support for Anthropic Claude models via Google Vertex AI by introducing AnthropicVertexChatCompletionClient.

Background

While AutoGen already supports Anthropic Claude models through:

• Direct API (AnthropicChatCompletionClient)
• AWS Bedrock (AnthropicBedrockChatCompletionClient)

This PR add support for accessing Claude models through Vertex AI.

Changes Made

1. New Client Class: AnthropicVertexChatCompletionClient following the same pattern as the existing Bedrock client
2. Configuration Types: Added VertexInfo and related config models for GCP project/region configuration
3. Tests: Added 11 comprehensive test cases covering initialization, serialization, config conversion, and mocked API calls
4. Documentation: Added docstrings with usage examples and configuration loading patterns

Implementation Details

• Uses Anthropic's official AsyncAnthropicVertex client
• Requires project_id and region via VertexInfo configuration
• Maintains consistency with existing AutoGen model client patterns
• Supports all standard Claude model capabilities (vision, function calling, streaming)

Usage Example

from autogen_ext.models.anthropic import AnthropicVertexChatCompletionClient, VertexInfo

client = AnthropicVertexChatCompletionClient(
    model="claude-3-sonnet-20240229",
    vertex_info=VertexInfo(
        project_id="your-gcp-project-id",
        region="us-east5"
    )
)

Checks

• I've included any doc changes needed for https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/. See https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md to build and test documentation locally.
• I've added tests (if relevant) corresponding to the changes introduced in this PR.
• I've made sure all auto checks have passed.

This aims to add support for Anthropic Claude models via Google Vertex AI, and majorly affects the python/packages/autogen-ext/src/autogen_ext/models/anthropic/_anthropic_client.py file (in which a new class AnthropicVertexChatCompletionClient has been added) and its corresponding test.
