Just switch to gemini for the time being, assuming you did not fall for the trap of claude specific config.

Zero moat.

Claude Code (the agent scaffolding) only works with the Claude API, I think? That’s at least a bit of a moat.

cursor-cli, codex, aider should all be roughly drop in replacements that can use non-Anthropic models

I also like Charm Crush.

Not really… https://github.com/musistudio/claude-code-router

I have a Frankenstein of a setup with this one. I use ZAI (GLM-4.6) for the base models, then Gemini's free tier for the search and image recognition. CCR intercepts the requests from Claude Code and sends them to each model/provider automatically.

I got annoyed at CCRs bloat and flakiness tho and replicated it in like 50 lines of Python. (Well, I asked Frankenstein to build it for me, obviously... what a time to be alive.)
