A new method called DeepClaude allows users to run Anthropic's Claude Code harness on DeepSeek's V4 Pro model, offering a significantly cheaper alternative to using Anthropic's API directly. This approach, which involves a simple proxy and environment variable changes, is gaining traction as developers prioritize cost-effectiveness for AI agent loops. While Anthropic's Opus 4.7 model is noted for its reasoning capabilities, its high cost is leading users to explore more economical options like DeepSeek, potentially shifting the focus from model quality to the underlying infrastructure and harness.
