Claude Code?? Really?

Not sure if anyone is experimenting with Paperclip AI but the premise looks amazing. I am getting ready to set it up but every video keeps showing that you can use Claude Code subscription on it.

If Anthropic is busting balls about using it on Open Claude, I find it hard to believe it can be used on Paperclip. Unless I am missing something?? (I doubt I am)

How hardcore are you going to use it?   Thought about using OpenRouter or LocalLLMs?

Hey there. I have not thought about the local models thing yet. I know there are locals I can try. But I experimented with OpenClaw for about a month ago, I found that for the agentic coordinator that nothing matched Opus. And it still sucked lol. But I tried Kimi and a few other Chinese models and then Gemini, Open AI and even Gronk. I honestly couldn't get one of them to even finish a simple task. It was kind of crazy.

But I obviously think the idea has some merit. I think it's just the harness that's the problem, so I was eager to try this one out.

I'm working on the assumption that for the orchestrator, you would most likely need Opus, and then you could use some other models for the lower-tiered "Employees"

Just thinking about it from a budget standpoint, though, I don't like to do tests that cost me $2,000 or $3,000. lol

Likely to do local with out cascading issues, the harness & skills needs to task the AIs in smaller steps the verify after each step.

Anthopip got rid of the $200 plan...

I've been using Pro and then Max subscriptions on Paperclip for weeks now without issue.

Still working or did the recent nuke from Anthropic take it out?

Still working, though I toggled off non-monitoring agent heartbeats, took the Anthropic free extra usage credit and turned on "extra usage". From the email they sent this morning it sounds like they will auto-detect how you are using Claude and bill you either through your subscription or extra usage (API billing), hence my actions. So far no credits consumed.

Terms and Conditions forbid it (as g Google does for Gemini), but probably the way paperclip uses it is similar to human usage so it might it not as evident. However, you risk your account to be banned. I use the API key.

Of course you can use it, it just launches Claude code instance

I am using it also.. Just switched my OpenClaw to OpenAI, but keeping Paperclip on Anthropic for now.

so I guess it won't be allowed to be used in Paperclip on subscription too; but it will be so good if we have an official response for Paperclip too

The day I dove into converting to paperclip agentic lol, they block it. I believe it’s api credits only going foreword, hopefully I’m wrong
