How to use open models with Claude Code (dev.nebius.com)

Claude Code, a programming-focused AI model from Anthropic, can now utilize open coding models via the Token Factory platform, thanks to a new integration that allows seamless communication between the two systems. This is accomplished through a local translation proxy called nebiusrelay, which converts requests from the Anthropic Messages API to the OpenAI-compatible format used by Token Factory. As a result, users can run models like moonshotai/Kimi-K2.7-Code without modifying any settings within Claude Code, maintaining the integrity of their current configurations. This development is highly significant for the AI/ML community as it expands access to a diverse range of coding models, further democratizing AI technology. The integration allows developers to leverage Claude Code's capabilities while tapping into the potential of various open models, enhancing collaborative efforts and innovation in AI-driven coding tasks. Technical implications include the ability to manage multiple models, assess costs associated with token usage, and improve productivity by utilizing a headless task workflow that efficiently creates files and executes commands. The recipe provided outlines the simple setup and execution steps necessary for users to harness this new functionality.
