I'm not exactly sure what the point of this is. Deepseek already has instructions to use its API with many CLI's including Claude Code directly: https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/agent_integrations...
I thought the tool format wasnt exactly the same ? So plugging any IA into claude code requires a conversion of format
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> DGX Spark-alike Probably wasn't clear enough if you don't know what that is already, apologies It's an Asus Ascent GX10, which is a little mini PC with 128GB of LPDDR5X as shared memory for an Nvidia GB10 "Blackwell" (kind of, it's a long story) GPU and a MediaTek ARM CPU
pulls up chair could you tell me the long story? edit: or wait, is it quasi-Blackwell the way all DGX Sparks are quasi-Blackwell? like the actual silicon is different but it's sorta Blackwell-shaped?
The promise of this chip was “write your code locally, then deploy to the same architecture in the data centre!”
Which is nonsense, because the GB10 is better described as “Hopper with Blackwell characteristics” IMO.
Still great hardware, especially for the price and learning. But we are only just starting to get the kernels written to take advantage of it, and mma.sync is sad compared to tcgen05
If you're looking for Claude Code alternatives, I would first suggest looking into pi.dev or opencode for your harness. And then for models, you can choose from OpenCode Go (IMO most cost effect at this moment), OpenRouter, or direct from DeepSeek. Better if you go the Kimi route IMO and just buy a subscription from kimi.com
> I would first suggest looking into pi.dev Looked into this one. Thought it was suspicious that it only had 7 open issues on github. Turns out they have a bot that auto-closes every single issue just because. I honestly have no words.
If you're okay with sonnet level performance, this sounds like a straight upgrade. But I find that sonnet messes up too much, that it ends up not being worth cost optimizing down to using it or another sonnet-level model. Glad to have this as an option though
I keep re-learning this lesson: I chug along with a lesser model then throw a problem at it that's too complex. Then I try different models until I give up and bring in Opus 4.6 to clean up.
I was able to use it in agent mode with Roo, I stopped after having it write out a plan, but I'll continue when I have more time.
Deepseek feels less likely to do a straight up rug pull since you can self host with enough money, but I'm still more excited about local solutions.
Usually I just need grunt work done. I'm not solving difficult problems.

Seems like not an unreasonable way to deal with the problem of large numbers of low quality issues being submitted.

Another very cost-effective option is Ollama Cloud. In a month of use, I only hit the 5-hour limit once, when I ran 8 agents simultaneously for 2 hours.
