DeepClaude – Claude Code agent loop with DeepSeek V4 Pro, 17x cheaper
SMRTR summary
DeepClaude is an open-source tool that lets you run Claude Code's powerful autonomous coding agent using cheaper AI models, most notably DeepSeek V4 Pro. Claude Code normally costs $200/month with usage limits, but DeepClaude swaps the underlying model, cutting costs by up to 90% — roughly $20/month for light users. All core features like file editing, bash execution, and multi-step coding loops still work.
