If you’d like help setting this up or want custom AI integrations, you can hire me here:

In this video, I’ll show you how to run *Claude Code completely for free using OpenRouter* — with **no local models, no GPU, and no RAM requirements**. Everything runs in the cloud, which means it works on **any computer**, even low-power devices like a **Raspberry Pi or a VPS**.
Unlike Ollama setups that require running models locally, this method lets you access *massive models (up to 480B parameters)* directly from the cloud — **for $0**.
Below is the configuration code mentioned in the video:
```
{
"env": {
"ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://openrouter.ai/api",
"ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "YOUR API KEY HERE",
"ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "",
"ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "YOUR MODEL HERE"
}
}
```
