Claude Code is now FREE: Here’s how…

Claude Code is now free and I'm going to show you exactly how to use it for free today. So the way that you can do this is you can go to olama.com and then you can pick whichever model you want to use for free with Claude Code and from there you can start running this for free. Let me show you an example. So let's say for example we want to use GLM511 for free with Olama and Claude Code.

Basically what you do is you make sure you download Olama. You can do that by copying and pasting this into your terminal. From there, go to models, scroll down to GLM511, copy this command as you can see, and then we're going to open up the terminal, paste that in. That will launch Claude Code with GLM511 plugged in.

As you can see right here, we have access to GLM511 cloud and we can run this for free. So basically you can run free models inside Claude Code. Let me just test this works. It says yes I'm working, how can I help you today?

And you can see here it says GLM511 cloud. Now GLM511 cloud is free with Olama as long as you stick within the token limits. However, what I will say is GLM511, all these cloud models on Olama, they are not, as long as you stick within the token limits, they're free. But if you don't stick within the token limits, then you want to use a different model.

And I'll show you how to do that. So what you want to do over here is you go to models and you want to use something that's more local. So for example, Jemma 4, Jemma 4 is completely free because it's not a cloud model. So if you're not running it via the cloud, instead you can run this locally.

So you download the model as you can see right here. Let me show you an example. So if we paste this in Olama run Jemma 4, so you can see that's setting up. And what we need to do here is we just press control and C to exit out.

We paste in Olama run Jemma 4 here and now we say, okay, are you working? All right. So that's how we run the model locally with Jemma 4. Now let's run it with Claude Code for free.

So what we do here is we just copy and paste this command, Olama launch Claude model Jemma 4. Yes, we trust it. And you can see here, Jemma 4 is now the model inside Claude Code, right? So if we say, are you working?

And then you can see it's working here, right? So we've got this working with Claude Code on Jemma 4, boom. So that's how you can run Claude Code for free forever. There's one more option that I want to show you here.

So what you can do is you can go to Open Router and then you can select Elephant Alpha. Elephant Alpha is a free API currently on Open Router. Now this will be free whilst it's in testing, then it will get removed and there'll be another stealth model that comes out soon as well, right? Like this seems to happen every single month.

So for example, previously it was like Pony Alpha or Hunter Alpha. Now it's Elephant Alpha. This is being tested. And so what you can actually do is you can use this for free, as you can see, it's a free API and you can plug that free API into Claude Code.

So if we have a look at Claude Code over here, you can see it's number four on the most used apps directly with Elephant Alpha. Now the way that you use this, there's multiple different options that you can use this with. One of the easiest ways is you can pick an agent. So for example, like Claude Code on Open Router, and then you can use something called Spawn, right?

And Spawn allows you to run these models and you just edit your config to add the API key for Open Router inside Claude Code, right? You can also do that inside OpenCore or Codex CLI or whatever you want to use, right? So for example, we can select Claude Code over here. We can choose how we want to run it like this.

For example, we can copy that, paste that in. Then we can choose our setup like this. From here, we need to authorize this. And then you can see how we can connect this to Claude Code, right?

So we can use our Open Router API inside Claude Code, run it for free with Elephant Alpha. So that's the other option, right? You just use Spawn, as you can see right here. We've got a full guide inside the AirBuffer board, and if you're not sure how to set this up, but that's basically it.

And now you can see, for example, we can use Claude Code, but we can use it directly with whatever model we want to use, right? And you just make sure you use that Open Router model, aka Elephant Alpha, when you set this up. That's basically how you can do it. So those are three free ways to run Claude Code free with the APIs that you want, right?

So option number one, you're going to use Olama and you can use the Cloud model. Cloud models are faster and usually more powerful, right? So GLM 5.1, you couldn't really run that locally, but you can run it with the Cloud model on Olama and you can just set it up in one click. Option number two, you go to Olama and then you go to Jemma 4.

Make sure you've downloaded Jemma 4 and then you can use it inside Claude Code with one click. Option number three is you can use Elephant Alpha as a free API inside Claude Code using Spawn, as I've mentioned today. And those are three free ways to use Claude Code so you don't have to pay for it, and it's free. So if you want to get training on this, feel free to check out the AI Profit Boardroom, link in the comments description, or just go to the AIprofitboardroom.com.

Inside the community, you can ask questions, get help and support whenever you want to. There's 2,800 members inside there. You can also jump on weekly coaching calls where we go deep on this sort of stuff. You can meet people in your local city from the map who are using Claude Code and other AI agent tools like this.

And also inside the classroom, you get access to all of my new trainings. So for example, if you check out the guide section here, you can actually learn how to use Elephant Alpha with Claude Code with a step-by-step setup guide, right? So I've got a setup guide video tutorial right there, a full guide as you can see, along with a full six-hour course on OpenClaude, another two-hour course on Hermes. And I just add new guides regularly inside here, pretty much every single day.

You can start using the new and advanced, right? So we keep this updated all the time. So feel free to get that link in the comments description, or just go to the AIprofitboardroom.com.
