Transcript
Claude Code costs 200 dollars a month. DeepClaude does the same thing for a tenth of the price. It swaps out the expensive Anthropic API for DeepSeek V4 Pro while keeping the full Claude Code experience — file editing, bash, git, autonomous agent loops, all of it. DeepSeek scores 96.4 percent on LiveCodeBench, so you're not sacrificing much intelligence. The repo hit 1,700 stars in its first week. You can even switch back to Anthropic mid-session for harder problems. Star it if this saved you money.
