Claude Code is now free. Here's how.
You can now run Claude Code for free. With 1 million tokens of context, there's an open source version of Claude Code that routes to any AI model you want, including free ones. The free model it runs on is called Owl Alpha, 1 million token context window, built specifically for AI agents, free on open router.
You get the full Claude Code experience, the same CLI, the same agent harness without paying a single cent. But here's where it gets really powerful. Wire it into an agent OS and it becomes a completely different category of tool. Your Claude Code agent sits in the sidebar next to all your other AI agents, Hermes, Gemini, Open Claw, and you switch between them in one click.
Every conversation gets saved to Obsidian. Your memory is persistent. Your agents remember everything. The more you use it, the smarter and more personalized it gets. New free models are dropping constantly. So, the cost of running AI is collapsing and the people who set up the right system today get a free AI stack forever.
