Free Claude Code proxy

Alishahryar1 dropped a repo called Free-claude-code and it already passed 44k stars on GitHub. the idea is wild simple: a proxy that sits between you and the official Claude Code CLI, snatches the Anthropic API calls, and reroutes them through free or cheap alternatives. we’re talking NVIDIA NIM free tier, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, plus local options like Ollama and LM Studio. you keep the same agentic workflow and tool use, just without the Anthropic bill. setup is like 5 minutes. but here’s the rub, it’s not actually Claude on the backend so complex agentic stuff fails more, tool use gets sketchier, and pushing your code through third-party free tiers is a privacy gamble. still, it’s free and open-source and honestly the whole thing screams that the interface is becoming the product
