I thought the tool format wasnt exactly the same ? So plugging any IA into claude code requires a conversion of format

    This one still lacks some features. They still recommend using their OpenAI compatible endpoint. But I guess Anthropic is just not capable of implementing the OpenAI API compatible client in Claude Code.

There probably isn't a point. Someone didn't understand something, didn't research it, so they 1 shotted their first thought and sent it to the front page of HN and all of their socials. It's the future bruh

  I embrace it at this point. It ends all the shilling of vibe coded tools at work that I have endured over the past year. Everyone can now make their own tools with zero obligation to coordinate beyond shared hardware resources
- altmanaltman 5mo ago
  To be fair, HN sent it to the front page, not the user. The rest I agree.

    A project that obviously bought stars on GitHub probably bought upvotes on HN too
    - vinckr 5mo ago
      How is it obvious that this project bought starts on GitHub?
- dev_hugepages 5mo ago
  And now, because we all upvoted and commented on it, the vibe coded slop of the new user is on the front page now.

I'm curious how well it actually works. I tried Deepseek with Hermes and Opencode and it seemed extremely bad about using some of the basic tools given, like the Hermes holographic memory tools, even with system prompt instructions strongly pointing them out.
- _345 5mo ago
  I've been experimenting with Hermes, I'm convinced hermes is also just bad. Like as a harness it has got to be doing something to lobotomize these models- Even GPT-5.4 performs badly in Hermes vs just using it in Codex.

  I'm working with Deepseek for a few weeks with opencode, and there are no desires left. claude remote maybe, but opencode web is good enough.

  I don't always copy paste vibe coded project readme mds into Claude code and ask them to rewrite it but when I do... actually that's all I do now because my goal in life is to make wealthy overvalued companies wealthier.

    Anthropic is the opposite of wealthy, the more you use their service, the more money they lose. Unless you think your precious MDs being used for training data is gonna make them rich eventually.

      Their marginal inference cost is less than what they charge for it. Normally that is considered profitable...

      It's not the md files it's how you interact with their agents.

The readme absolutely buries the features that are actually non-trivial: It runs a proxy to switch models mid-session, and does combined cost tracking between Anthropic and other models you might be using. The LLM that wrote the readme never updated the general project description to highlight these features. Also the author checked in their advertising plan: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/commit/a90a399682defc88d810b1e9063343d9f9a7192f https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/commit/a90a399682defc...

It's really getting a lot of upvotes so it's nearly as if people were feeling locked-in and wanted a way out but... Why would you keep using CC CLI if you want to use the much cheaper DeepSeek v4 models (Flash and Pro): isn't it the opportunity to kiss CC CLI goodbye and use something not controlled by Anthropic? Anyone here successfully moved from CC CLI to a fully open-source project? I'm asking this as a Claude Code CLI (Sonnet/Opus) user. My "stack" is all open-source: from Linux to Emacs to what-have-you. I'd rather also have open-weight models and a fully open-source (not controlled by a single company) AI CLI. Any suggestion for something that works well? (by "well" I mean "as well as Claude Code CLI", which is not a panacea so my bar ain't the end of the world either).

  CC can use the Flash model for sub-agents and other tasks but keep using the Pro model for the main thread and thinking there. It also has a decent permission system and commands that people are quite used to. Personally I’d say that the closest alternative you’d get is OpenCode. They are TUI focused and also do have a web/desktop version, though that’s not quite as good as Claude’s Desktop app (and Claude Code functionality within it) yet. The TUI itself is solid though and they support a lot of different providers and models (/connect and /models). For GUI driven stuff, I’ve personally had good experiences with KiloCode (in Visual Studio Code, personally I also liked RooCode of which KiloCode is a fork, but that stopped development) or just using the Zed editor with their built in agent.

Also Claude Code is one of the worse CLI, the only good thing is that it's the default for Claude. I don't see why anyone would want to use it for any other model than Claude instead of OpenCode or Pi.
