i freaking thought it was connected to the claude plus, BUT IT WAS PULLING FROM THE API AND IT WAS LIKE $5 FOR 2-3 QUERIES! DONT END UP LIKE ME OR WORSE, USE CLAUDE CODE THINKING IT WONT CHARGE YOU EXTRA!

Got tired of being locked to Anthropic models in Claude Code. Built a proxy that lets you use 580+ models via OpenRouter while keeping the full Claude Code experience.

What it does:

• Use Gemini, GPT, Grok, DeepSeek, Llama — whatever — inside Claude Code

• Works with your existing Claude subscription (native passthrough, no markup)

• Or run completely free using OpenRouter's free tier (actual good models, not garbage)

• Multi-agent setup: map different models to opus/sonnet/haiku/subagent roles

Install:

npm install -g claudish
claudish --free

That's it. No config.

How it works:

Sits between Claude Code and the API. Translates Anthropic's tool format to OpenAI/Gemini JSON and back. Zero patches to the Claude Code binary, so it doesn't break when Anthropic pushes updates.

Everything still works — thinking modes, MCP servers, /commands, the lot.

What models are people wanting to try with Claude Code's architecture? Curious what combos work well.

I just received an email from Anthropic:

We're offering a limited-time promotion that gives Pro and Max users extra usage credits exclusively for Claude Code on the web and mobile. This is designed to help you explore the full power of parallel Claude Code sessions without worrying about your regular usage limits.

Pro users receive $250 in credits
Max users receive $1,000 in credits

These credits are separate from your standard usage limits and can only be used for Claude Code on the web and mobile. They expire on November 18 at 11:59 PM PT. Your regular Claude usage limits remain unchanged.

Promotion dates: Tuesday, November 4, 2025 at 9:00 AM PT through Tuesday, November 18, 2025 at 11:59 PM PT.

I am using Cursor for months now, I am familiarize with it and more or less know its limitations, but see a lot of content about ClaudeCode and was willing to start experimenting it, can someone give me some orientations like:

1. Where is the best content on initial setup, tips and tricks on starting using Caulde Code?

2. For my daily coding activities would the $200 would be enough? Is this the lower tier model?

3. Would be straight forward to configure and use my own and external MCP's?

Since launching Claude Code on the web, your feedback has been invaluable. We’re temporarily adding free usage so you can push the limits of parallel work and help make Claude even better.

Available for a limited time (until November 18):
• Max users: $1,000 in credits
• Pro users: $250 in credits

These credits are separate from your standard plan limits and expire November 18 at 11:59 PM PT. This is a limited time offer for all existing users and for new users while supplies last.

Is there a way to use Claude AI for free? I primarily use it for writing code, and it performs better than all the other available options. However, after 3-4 chats, it prompts me to subscribe. I currently have six accounts that I use alternately, but the context from the initial prompts gets lost when switching between them. Is there any way to use it completely for free? I can’t really afford the subscription right now. yes, the classic Indian problem. Haha

EDIT: I want to highlight to everyone that this started as a fork of Claude Dev, which is why we’ve given full attribution and credit to original authors in the GitHub repo.

If anyone is curious why we made a fork, it’s so we could experiment with new ideas. We started to diverge enough from Claude-dev that we decided to stop making it temporary.

If you like it, great! We’re very collaborative and looking to integrate as many good ideas as possible. I think humans are only 1% down the path of building great coding agents and we hope to contribute.

Hey guys,

I’ve been working on Claude Coder, a semi-autonomous AI coder that helps you code on autopilot aimed towards no coders and coders alike. It’s open-source, and you can grab it right now on the VSCode marketplace or try it at Kodu.ai – no sign-up needed!

I've managed to partner with Anthropic to unlock a few things for the community:

• Zero Ratelimits using Claude and Sonnet (prompt caching included!!)

• $10 in free Anthropic credits (+ $10 for active users)

• One-click project deployment, web browsing capabilities, and a hosted web app to code on the go are coming soon!

• Zero Markups, our pricing is identical to Anthropic pricing, the cheapest provider out there.

• Free Trial no sign-up needed just download and start coding.

I wanted to personally note that I'm big about no data collection or sneaky cloud stuff, we don't read or store any type of prompt, message, or requests in our anthropic tunnel (links between your machine to anthropic through our unified API key), we only store the token usage to process user credits.

We are open source and welcome any types of contributions and feature requests at our Github (https://github.com/kodu-ai/kodu-coder)

Also, feel free to join our tiny but yet growing Discord and let me know what you think. Would love your feedback, I'm active most of the day (14ish hours T_T)

I've been inspired by Claude Dev, Aider, and Claude Engineer, and want to give a big shoutout to all of them for making this dream a reality!
