And you don't need to stop there. Claude Code also has great open alternatives you can run in any environment you like, with any model, and under economic arrangements you define. See https://oss-ai-swe.org/ for a few. My current favs are OpenHands and Codex CLI.

Aren’t those _way_ more expensive per token?

Yes and I really hope more models consider pricing like Claude Max. There's also the option of choosing local models but I haven't tried that yet. Claude is just too good to spend time elsewhere (at the moment).

How so? Claude is the most expensive. With open tools you can choose whatever model delivers the best results for the budget you have.

you can use your claude code subscription with opencode (not sure how "legal" that is); github copilot straight up provides an api (very "legal")
