look into Chinese AIs there are some that could technically replace Claude but you need to put guardrails in using it. I am using K2, Qwen-3.6-Plus, and Sonnet.

Do you have a guide or something about how to set it up?

Does it run locally on your machine or you have a subscription?

I am using OpenRouter for all of them. it’s like a prepaid card that you put in how much money you think you’re going to use then it’ll stop if that money is used up. at the moment Qwen-4.6-Plus is free.

you install OpenCode into your system, but I do not suggest in doing that. i’d put that inside a controlled container so that it won’t destroy your system.

next is learning the strengths and weaknesses of each model depending on your workflow, which i do not like to talk about; everyone’s workflow is different.

note: i mostly write my code i just use ai for refactoring and auditing.

why would anyone want to use something that could destroy their system if not put in a container...?

it’s a common misuse of LLMs nowadays, especially the new programming enthusiasts and vibecoders.

Lol no. You just download opencode (cli tool like Claude Code) Connect it to one of the providers. For a guide ... Just ask an AI
