I'd like to give these a try - what's your way of using them? I mostly use Claude because of Claude Code. Not sure what agentic coding tools people are using these days with OSS models. I'm not a big fan of manually uploading files into a web UI. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The most private way is to use them on your own machine; a Mac Studio maxed out to 512GB RAM can run GLM-4.5 at FP8 with fairly long context, for example. If you don't have the hardware to run it locally, let me shill my own company for a minute: Synthetic [1] has a $20/month subscription to most of the good open-weight coding LLMs, with higher rate limits than Claude's $20/month sub. And our $60/month sub has higher rate limits than the $200/month maxed-out version of the Claude Max plan. You can still use Claude Code by using LiteLLM or similar tools that convert Anthropic-style API requests to OpenAI-style API requests; once you have one of those running locally, you override the ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL env var to point to your locally-running proxy. We'll also be shipping an Anthropic-compatible API this week to work with Claude Code directly. Some other good agentic tools you could use instead include Cline, Roo Code, KiloCode, OpenCode, or Octofriend (the last of which we maintain). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Both of those models have Anthropic API compatible endpoints, so you just set an environmental variable pointing to them before you run Claude Code. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
