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:

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/a90a399682defc...

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

From vibe coders for vibe coders

    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.

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.

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).

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