Summary
How to Run Claude Code for Free Forever (1M Context Tokens + Agent OS Memory Stack)The script explains how to use an open-source project called Free Claude Code to run the Claude Code CLI for free by routing it to alternative model providers, specifically a free one-million-token context model called OwlAlpha on OpenRouter. It demonstrates the setup inside a custom “Agent Operating System” dashboard that unifies multiple AI agents (e.g., Claude, OpenClaude, Hermes, Gemini) with persistent memory and tools via an Obsidian vault, plus workflows like SEO tools, a studio for video/image/TTS generation, Kanban task management, journals, and status monitoring. The presenter outlines a four-pillar stack (model, Free Claude Code, memory/connections, dashboard), addresses common myths about Claude Code and free models, and directs viewers to a paid AI Profit Boardroom for guides, prompts, files, coaching calls, and community support. 00:00 Free Claude Code Hook 00:42 Live Demo In Agent OS 02:03 What Free Claude Code Is 02:55 Routing Models With OpenRouter 03:46 Agent OS Explained 05:41 Four Pillar Stack 06:29 Obsidian Memory Engine 08:34 Six Myths Debunked 11:23 Why Agent OS Wins 13:22 Recap And Next Steps 14:09 Boardroom Offer And Support 15:09 Community Proof And Wrap
