pi-glm-image-summary

A pi extension that intercepts image reads when using non-vision GLM models and sends them to glm-4.6v for detailed analysis.

Why?

GLM text models (glm-4.6, glm-4.7, glm-4.7-flash) have no vision capabilities. GLM-4.6v does. This extension automatically detects when you're using a non-vision GLM model and intercepts image reads, sending them to glm-4.6v for comprehensive analysis.

Features

• Automatic image interception: When using glm-4.7/glm-4.7-long, image file reads are automatically redirected to glm-4.6v for analysis
• Comprehensive analysis: Extracts text content, visual elements, technical details, and more
• Manual analysis command: /analyze-image <path> to manually analyze any image

Installation

Install globally:

pi install npm:pi-glm-image-summary

Or install for a specific project (writes to .pi/settings.json):

pi install -l npm:pi-glm-image-summary

To try it without installing:

pi -e npm:pi-glm-image-summary

Usage

Once installed, the extension loads automatically when you start pi:

pi --provider zai --model glm-4.7

Automatic Mode

When the extension detects:

1. Current model is glm-4.7 or glm-4.7-long
2. A file being read is an image (jpg, jpeg, png, gif, webp)

It will automatically spawn a subprocess with glm-4.6v to analyze the image and return a detailed summary.

Manual Analysis

Use the /analyze-image command to analyze any image:

/analyze-image ./screenshot.png

Supported Image Formats

• JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg)
• PNG (.png)
• GIF (.gif)
• WebP (.webp)

Configuration

The extension uses the ZAI provider for the vision model. Make sure you have proper API credentials configured.
