On the Aider LLM Leaderboards, for several days now, the first place has been occupied not by a single model, but by the combination of DeepSeek R1 and claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022.

This setup likely inspired the creation of the

DeepClaude 0.1.0
https://deepclaude.com/

Currently, DeepClaude is a very minimalist BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys) open-source system built in Rust - repo. It was created by An Asterisk as a side project and requires users to pay two providers and input their API keys. Interestingly, it’s unclear why the developers didn’t opt to integrate with OpenRouter.ai instead — perhaps someone will code this.

The system can be used on their website or deployed locally. It’s not an IDE or a plugin — just a chat interface powered by two models.
