In this video I walk you through two different ways to run Claude Code completely free. The first method uses Ollama to run open source models locally on your own machine, and the second uses Open Router to access free models in the cloud. I cover everything from downloading and configuring models to the tradeoffs between local and cloud, and when you'd actually want to use open source models over something like Opus. "ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL": "https://openrouter.ai/api", "ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN": "YOUR OPEN ROUTER API KEY", "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "", "ANTHROPIC_MODEL": "openrouter/free", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL": "openrouter/free", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL": "openrouter/free", "ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL": "openrouter/free", "ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL": "openrouter/free", "CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL": "openrouter/free"

First off, I owe you guys an apology. I fell behind on the MVP initiative a few months ago, but we're officially bringing it back. I think it's really exciting, and it's cool to see the energy and continue watching this community grow. Speaking of growth... we are now officially the largest community on Skool. Period. Across every single community on the platform. Now that we've passed 300,000 members, AI Automation Society really is the largest AI automation community in the world. And that is all thanks to you guys. With that said, huge shoutout to the Top 5 Members of AI Automation Society for March! These are the people leading the way, sharing knowledge, and helping spread the AIS culture: 1️⃣ @Muskan Ahlawat – Back on top and absolutely crushing it this month! 🔥 2️⃣ @Christian Rivadeneira 3️⃣ @Frank van Bokhorst 4️⃣ @Titus Blair 5️⃣ @Esayas Tesfaye (Quick note: @Yash Chauhan landed in the top 5 on the leaderboard but we're excluding him here since he's an official member of the AIS team. Shoutout to Yash regardless for always showing up 💪) Keep contributing, sharing wins, and helping others grow. This community gets better because of every single one of you. Let's keep building, keep learning, and keep spreading that AIS energy. 🚀 Cheers, Nate

Claude Code's source code just got leaked through a public NPM package, and I went through the entire codebase. I pulled out 8 practical insights that will change how you use the tool, from hidden slash commands and the memory system to permissions, multi-agent architecture, and internal features that haven't shipped yet. By the end you'll know how to use Claude Code like a top 1% user.

Google just dropped Gemini 3.1 Flash Live, their new speech-to-speech voice model. In this video, I break down what makes it different, try it out for free in Google AI Studio, and then use Claude Code to build two working demos: a voice agent embedded on a website and a personal assistant that connects to my calendar and ClickUp. I also cover pricing, current limitations, and what it takes to actually deploy something like this.

In this video, we break down how Cal AI, the AI app that just sold for $100M, was built, why it works, and what makes it so powerful. This AI app just sold for $100M, and the craziest part? It was vibecoded. We also look at how Zach Yedegari built Cal AI, what this means for the future of software, and why anyone can build an AI app like this today. If you’re trying to understand how this $100M AI app just changed software forever, this is the breakdown you need. Hope you enjoy!
