Deciding if I should switch to Qwen 3 and Cerebras.
(Also, off-topic, but the name reminds me of cerebrates from Starcraft. The Zerg command hierarchy lore was fascinating when I was a young child.)
But then also that running a proxy tool locally is needed.
I haven’t tried this setup, and can’t say offhand if Cerebras’ hosted qwen described here is “OpenAI” compatible.
I also don’t know if all of the tools CC uses out of the box are supported in the most compatible non-Anthropic models.
Can anyone provide clarity / additional testimony on swapping out the engine on Claude Code?
A workflow I've been hearing about is: use Claude Code until quota exhaustion, then use Gemini CLI with Gemini 2.5 Pro free credits until quota exhaustion, then use something like a cheap-ish K2 or Qwen 3 provider, with OpenCode or the new Qwen Code, until your Claude Code credits reset and you begin the cycle anew.
