Claude Code runs on DeepSeek, GLM, and Qwen models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has demonstrated how to run Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, with alternative LLM backends like DeepSeek, General Language Model (GLM), and Qwen. By configuring environment variables, users can direct Claude Code to use these models instead of Anthropic's own API. This setup allows for the use of different models for the agent loop and background tasks, with the developer testing file creation tasks across various model versions. AI

IMPACT Enables developers to leverage alternative LLM providers for AI coding assistants, potentially reducing costs and increasing flexibility.

    <p>Claude Code talks to its backend in the Anthropic Messages format. Any endpoint that accepts that format can stand in for Anthropic's API, which means you can run the same agent loop on DeepSeek, GLM, Qwen or Kimi without a proxy or a converter.</p> <p>I tested this on Claude …
