For those who cant afford claude models and wanna use claude code, deepseek v4 pro is closest best and cheapest option. How to use deepseek API inside claude code (easist way ever): We will use AI to replace AI. Just feed your existing claude code this prompt “Yo Claude, you’re expensive af 💀 Do everything needed to fully switch Claude Code to DeepSeek API automatically. Set up the complete settings.json config, API integration, model selection, base URL, env variables, testing, debugging, and optimization for low cost + strong coding performance. Use this DeepSeek API key: “sh…” Make it fully working, minimal, and production ready.” Thats it! Thank me later! submitted by /u/Agreeable-Pen-9763
