claudish
Claude Code. Any Model. The most powerful AI coding agent now speaks every language.
Claudish is a CLI proxy tool that allows Claude Code to work with 580+ AI models from various providers (OpenRouter, Google Gemini, OpenAI, local models) instead of just Anthropic's Claude models. It intercepts Claude Code's API requests and translates them to different provider formats, enabling developers to use their existing AI subscriptions (ChatGPT Plus, Gemini Advanced, etc.) with Claude Code's powerful coding interface. The tool supports model role mapping (Opus/Sonnet/Haiku), automatic vision proxy for non-vision models, and maintains full protocol compliance with Claude Code's features including extended thinking, tool calling, and streaming responses.
