Developers bypass Claude Code to run cheaper competing models via proxies

Users are exploiting Anthropic's Claude Code harness to access non-Anthropic models like GPT-5.6 Sol through services like OpenRouter.

What to know

  • Developers have discovered a workaround to use Anthropic's Claude Code harness with third-party AI models rather than Anthropic's own Claude.
  • The exploit routes requests through proxy services like OpenRouter to access cheaper alternatives such as OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol.
  • The discovery suggests potential enforcement gaps in how Anthropic controls which models can run within its code execution environment.
