I thought so, and then I tried Opencode and Codex and started to appreciate Claude Code a lot more. They've actually done great work with the small details.

I actually have't looked back since trying opencode The ability to properly see what the agent is doing in tool calls and subagents is really unmatched, CC strips all reasoning and return values, only displaying tool calls, and you're unable to expand a single subagent, it's expand everything and scroll endlessly or show everything collapsed with basically no info at all (read x files, ran x commands) Just seems like extremely basic features are missing

I have 29 Claude Codes open, using 6.3 GiB RSS total

The point was to come up with a sensationalistic headline that HN eats up and post flies to the front page.

I wonder whether the title was generated/suggested by an AI?

You can use other models in Claude Code

You can just use it through Claude Code, so you get to keep the system prompt and tooling you are used to.

3rd party models are a drop-in replacement with `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` in Claude Code, something people seem to miss right now. And contrary to what Anthropic might like to have you think, you don't need Opus 4.7 to run the harness to get similar performance.

Is there an easier way to manage multiple models?

[rane → taffydavid]

I just made a simple script that makes it easy to switch between models.

Also, great example of why you don't take a terminal that requires login as your daily workhorse. It never ends well.

[Cthulhu_ → rane]

That was a mistake they made initially, but iirc they got rid of it after a while.

If you block internet access to Warp, it refuses to start. That's all I need to know about it.

I've been using all Kimi K2.6, gpt-5.4 and now Deepseek v4 (thought not extensively yet) in Claude Code and I can say it works much better than you'd expect. It looks like the system prompt and tools are pulling a lot of weight. Maybe the current models are good enough that you don't need them to be trained for a specific harness.

FWIW, works great in Claude Code.

This might be the opposite of staying nimble as my workflows are quite tied to Claude Code specifically, however I've been experimenting with using OpenAI models in CC and it works surprisingly well.

Added support for Kimi in https://github.com/raine/claude-code-proxy and it does appear to work surprisingly well with Claude Code, although the usage limit for the entry tier doesn't seem as generous as I'd have expected.
