Claude Code on DeepSeek: 17x Cheaper
Topics: Claude Code, DeepSeek, AI Costs, Developer Tools, Open Source Claude Code’s tool ecosystem and the model it runs on are two separate things. A project called DeepClaude treats them that way. DeepClaude intercepts API calls from Claude Code and routes them to DeepSeek V4 instead of Anthropic’s models. The tool layer, file editing, bash execution, session context, autonomous loops, stays intact. The inference backend changes. The cost difference is approximately 17x. ...
