  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...

  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

  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.

  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 just spent half my day getting CUDA and LLAMA to work with my 5070TI.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.

  I'm wondering why DeepSeek didn't create an AI coding agent like Kimi Code.

  Is claude code the best coding harness? Anyone running evals on that?

  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.

  Did... Did you just ask an AI to one-shot something that normally amounts to no more than setting two env variables?

  obviously vibe coded ( co authored ) + the prices dont even match

  And if I don't care about cost, what about actual performance?

  This has become a problem for me. I like trying new things. But I also know that in about a week, there's going to be a better/cheaper setup. And a week after that. And ideally I'd like to get some coding done when I'm not tinkering with the tools.So I think I'll stay with CC for now.

  Is there a way to do this directly by using claudecode CLI (which I already have installed) and openrouter??
• Lihh27
  the wrapper is basically env var glue. You’re still betting the whole loop on Anthropic's closed client.

  Cost engineering [1] will be the next hot topic for AI.[1] A fancier way of saying "reducing cost."
• portsentinel
  I am now thinking how far can agentic AI can go how far we can achieve

  Is there some way to make claude/codex beep when it finishes a task.

  Why wouldn't you use something open source like OpenCode, which already support DSv4 and has more features than CC?
• 2ndorderthought
  Oh shoot now the next CC upgrade will blow your subscription for doing this

  anthropic messed up big time harness works with any muh commodity LLM, meanwhile VCs were duped on the myth of FOOM AGI, probably not a cooincidence Anthropic is enmeshed with the scifi fan fic forum known as lesswrong. The world wants useful tools. The bay area bubble in contrast thrives on Mythos.

  I had a call with our CTO and we are pivoting away from Claude Code to DeepClaude because the cost savings are too substantial to ignore.
