A tweet describing an independent open-source project, "Free Claude Code", that lets Claude Code run against non-Anthropic providers such as DeepSeek and Kimi. It supports switching models, configuring fallback providers and using providers' free tiers, launched via `fcc-claude` from the terminal or an IDE. It states the limits: free usage follows provider quotas, some providers still need API keys, it does not unlock Anthropic's own models, and it is not affiliated with Anthropic. The page also shows a quoted article on a 5-layer setup for running coding agents in YOLO/auto-approve mode safely.
TL;DR Open-source "Free Claude Code" (fcc-claude) points the Claude Code harness at DeepSeek, Kimi and other providers, with fallbacks and free tiers.
