Claude Code Router enables external model selection for Claude Code

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new open-source project called Claude Code Router has been developed to enhance the functionality of Claude Code by allowing users to connect to various external model providers beyond Anthropic's first-party models. This local gateway, implemented in Go, enables explicit model selection and capability checks, routing requests to configured providers like OpenRouter, Z.AI, LiteLLM, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints. The tool ensures compatibility by verifying model features before forwarding requests, preventing silent failures and providing users with greater control over their AI sessions. AI

IMPACT Enhances flexibility for developers using Claude Code by allowing integration with multiple LLM providers.
