I swapped off of Claude recently due to all this BS over the past couple months. I bounced around using local models, opencode, open hands, aider, Claude code rewrites, etc. Here’s the thing, Claude code is GOATED and is the best agent IDE harness around right now. So I chose not to replace it. Im using CCR Claude code router (open source on GitHub) to route calls to my own backend instead of anthropic. You still get updates from anthropic, they can’t detect what ur doing and even if they could they can’t stop you because nothing is hitting their servers if you patch it all correctly. After a couple days of patching and reworking some things to ensure it will survive updates I’ve got deep infra (provider) serving models to Claude code. The move is Claude code router + deep infra (look em up) for running ur own models. I slotted deepseek v4 pro in as my opus, deepseek v4 flash as my sonnet, and glm as my haiku. V4 flash is the best open weight model right now imo. Super cheap to run, fast enough to not get on ur nerves, and in real work it doesn’t lag noticeably behind Claude opus 4.7. Hope this quick lil write up helped some of you. I’ve been searching for an alternative for a long time, this is what I’ve found works for me. Been using this for 2 weeks now in all my sessions. submitted by /u/Red0Adrenaline
