Right now it suits them down to the ground. You pay for the product and you don’t cost their servers anything.

You don't pay anything to use Claude Code as a front end to non-Anthropic models

  • so no subscription is needed?

    • not to use the cli tool. You can install it and change the settings to point to pretty much any other model.

      It's an okay-enough tool, but I don't see a lot of point in using it when open sources tools like Pi and OpenCode exist (or octofriend, or forge, or droid, etc).
