Alishahryar1/free-claude-code at 26.7K Stars With +783 Today: Proxy Routes Claude Code Through 10 Alternative Providers

GitHub·medium signal

Free-claude-code routes Claude Code API calls through an Anthropic-compatible proxy supporting 10 providers including NVIDIA NIM, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, LM Studio, llama.cpp, and Ollama. Ships per-model routing to direct different Claude tiers to different backends, streaming and tool-use handling, local Admin UI, and VSCode/JetBrains extensions. At 26.7K stars, it's the most-adopted cost-reduction layer for Claude Code — enables local model fallback for simple tasks while preserving Anthropic for complex ones.
