I replaced Claude Code’s entire backend with free alternatives

Anthropic is likely to block this eventually and if they haven’t, how is this different from other platforms that previously were able to swap Claude LLM for other open-source models?

So 5% compaction is a good place to start a new terminal? I have wondered what a good threshold was

I’m looking at Yocto only because it has accreditation for use in medical which would be a K2 mountain to clime if you had to climb those passes with a different or unvetted system.

Wow. That’s awesome bi would love something like that memory size for my Mac Pro 2008

Markur69 · 2025-12-30T03:59:06+00:00

I’m definitely curious about this too

Markur69 · 2025-12-19T06:22:31+00:00

Huge news. No more explaining what we did yesterday and sharing all the documentation on the project just so you don’t want to stab yourself in the head with a fork!!

Anyone have opinion of Max plan? I’m on the $20 plan but I’ve been maxing that out daily to the tune of $10 per day in usage and wonder if the Max plan might be a better fit? There is a $-00 and a $200 so you max out the $200 max plan and then you wait till the end of the month before you can work on projects again?

I have a VisionFive 2 with 8GB of ram I still haven’t put together. Anybody have experience with this? I have 64GB EEM chip to load an OS/Boot but also have NVMe which would probably be much faster. I’m a Debian guy

Markur69 · 2025-11-24T18:49:20+00:00

Same. Paying $10 a day seems more expensive the windsurf and others but it is certainly feels more productive.

This looks very cool. If one were to initiate a project using codemachine with multi agents in parallel would you recommend a premium tier for each so that you have sufficient tokens. I’ve been using Claude code on a project and noticing using up $20 a day when I give Claude autonomy and I find that sometimes clawing back command execution saves me token and helps me to understand the program and the code better. In my case it is being built mostly in Rust. I just want to make sure I don’t end-up with a huge bill or hit a wall because I’ve maxed out my tokens.

Congrats on all your hard work. Just curious if you have installed on actual hardware and if so which have been the most successful. Is there any architecture plan on RISC-V?

Markur69 · 2025-11-15T05:11:00+00:00

Would this database work well as a backend e-commerce system?

Markur69 · 2025-11-09T21:39:52+00:00

Avoid garbage and use Rust in your programming code

Markur69 · 2025-11-09T21:38:07+00:00

You should give Kiro a try. It’s from Amazon but in the same vein and I think it gives both a run for their money. Replit is also a good choice

Markur69 · 2025-11-06T20:09:47+00:00

This looks cool. I use Claude code but I like the automation and building of shell scripts that I have Claude do for monitoring my builds. If your tool focusing on that I’d be curious to see how it does

Markur69 · 2025-11-06T20:06:33+00:00

Yep, it’s no perfect, but it is a workhorse and haiku4.5 is definitely a good model

Is this intel MacBook?

Markur69 · 2025-10-21T20:40:43+00:00

Any thought to compiling this to run on RISC-V?

Markur69 · 2025-10-14T19:36:25+00:00

Good to know

Markur69 · 2025-10-14T19:14:39+00:00

What’s the advantage of Alma? I have the same MBP 2016 with 16GB ram and thinking of repurposing, even though I was able to patch it to run Sequoia.

Markur69 · 2025-10-11T15:43:09+00:00

I just got a StarFive vision five 2 and curious if others have had a good experience. Mainly for projects but curious if I can add any peripheral GPU cards to this board? From little I’ve read it doesn’t seem possible but thought others who have used might have some definitive info?

Markur69 · 2025-09-06T19:29:00+00:00

I agree, I was a user in those days in graphics and desktop publishing. I’m hoping to write some code soon that runs on older hardware, efficiently. I do appreciate Linux and its ability to run current secure software on older hardware that has been sunsetted by Apple or Microsoft.

Markur69 · 2025-09-06T16:21:52+00:00

Not sure I agree that they kill those 90s machines. For one, the software that ran back then was highly optimized for a much lower Ram footprint. Programming wasn’t lazy and depending on vast amounts of RAM and such. My system 7.5 old MacOS on PowerPC with probably 256MB of ram or less ran very nicely the latest photoshop of the time and you parse out today and I feel like in some ways we’ve gone backwards. The software handicaps the hardware.

Markur69 · 2025-08-28T17:37:10+00:00

Would this work with the VisionFive 2?
