It seems like any project that makes fun of Claude is bound to reach the top spot on Hacker News. Even if it’s just a project consisting of four lines of code.
The more interesting part of deepclaude is the local proxy it runs to switch models mid-session and do combined cost tracking. Though these features seem quite buried in the LLM-generated readme. Looking at the history, it appears they were added later, and the readme wasn't restructured to highlight this.
Also, the author checked in their apparently effective social media advertising plan: https://github.com/aattaran/deepclaude/commit/a90a399682defc... (which seems to be working)
So I created https://getaivo.dev, one can use model in the coding agent directly. Just `aivo claude -m deepseek-v4-pro`
This in essence is what allows one to use any model with CC -- including local.
thanks, that was super easy.
I have been wanting to try CC with different models since Opus went downhill last month..
What limitations or issues have you noticed when using DeepSeek with Claude Code if any?
those who use deepseek v4, what level of output you get? Codex 5.3 or GPT 5.4?
is flash version on level of gpt 5.4 mini

This is what I’ve been using for non-confidential projects for about a week now (soon after v4 came out). I honestly can’t tell the difference, but I’m not doing anything crazy with it either.
Worth noting that I don’t think DeepSeek‘s API lets you opt out of training. Once this is up on other providers though… (OpenRouter is just proxying to DeepSeek atm)
