Nick Perry shows how to clone a GitHub repo that redirects Claude Code to free open-source models like DeepSeek or GLM, making it look like you're using Claude while paying nothing. Get a free API key from OpenRouter or NVIDIA, run two commands, and code for free at about 90% of Claude's performance.

Claude Code just got tricked into running completely free, and it might kill your AI subscription because it does the same coding for $0. See, there's a free GitHub tool that reroutes Claude Code to open models that are about 90% as good. So your terminal thinks it's still talking to Claude. You clone the repo, run 2 commands, and you're done in under a minute. But the real trick is where you point it. Because you grab a free key from OpenRouter or NVIDIA, and now Claude Code is quietly running on DeepSeek, QEME, or GLM. So while everyone else is burning tokens every single prompt, you're shipping the same code for nothing. Claude Code just got tricked into running for free.
