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.

They have a pretty decent explanation.

Honestly with the likes of Opencode / pi / hermes I don't really find the "Claude Code agent loop" part particularly interesting.

The edge Anthropic has on others lies on its models performance. CLI tooling (and obviously pricing) is definitely not better than others.

Except the model isn't particularly better anymore, as compared to the newest wave of FOSS models

Using a bunch of CLIs to work with DeepSeek V4, I've found that Langcli is the best fit for DeepSeek V4. For programming tasks, the cache hit rate is above 95%.

Not only can it seamlessly and dynamically switch between DeepSeek V4 Flash, V4 Pro, and other mainstream models within the same context, but it is also 100% compatible with Claude Code.

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...

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

Langcli + deepseek v4 is very good

#!/bin/sh export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.deepseek.com/anthropic export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=sk-secret export ANTHROPIC_MODEL=deepseek-v4-flash export CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1 exec claude $@

The more interesting part of deepclaude is the local proxy it runs to switch models mid-session and do combined cost tracking. Though these features seem quite buried in the LLM-generated readme. Looking at the history, it appears they were added later, and the readme wasn't restructured to highlight this.

Also, the author checked in their apparently effective social media advertising plan: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/commit/a90a399682defc... (which seems to be working)

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.
