Running GPT-6 Astra as Your Claude Code Orchestrator: A Local Proxy Plugin How-To
TheDeadlyPretzel · reddit · 2026-09-08
A developer shares a working setup for running OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra as the main orchestrator inside Claude Code: after a week of testing, Astra sticks to plans, takes redirects without treating them as new tasks, and reliably delegates to subagents where other models drift after hours. An MIT-licensed local proxy plugin (model-gateway, Eigenwise Toolshed) routes GPT requests via your ChatGPT login and passes the rest to Anthropic, so GPT models appear in /model and can be mixed freely with Opus/Sonnet — including per-task delegation with fallbacks via a companion plugin. Key gotcha: use the [1m] model suffix or Claude Code compacts at 200k. Grok and OpenRouter support are planned.
