Free Claude Code: open-source project runs the coding agent on DeepSeek, Kimi and other providers
Arindam_1729 · x · 2026-10-11
Developer Arindam1729 highlights an open-source project, Free Claude Code, that connects Claude Code to alternative AI providers: run it on DeepSeek, Kimi and other models, switch models on demand, configure fallback providers, or hook into free-tier providers — all from your terminal or IDE. Setup: install the repo, configure your provider, run fcc-claude, pick a model. Caveats: it doesn't unlock Anthropic's own Claude models for free, some providers still require API keys, and free usage depends on provider limits. The independent project is unaffiliated with Anthropic.
