## Resource

Free Claude Code Setup: Run Claude Code on Free APIs with an Agent OS (OwlAlpha + OpenRouter)The script explains how “Claude Code is now free” by using a free, open-source project that sits between the Claude Code CLI and the API, allowing it to plug into free model APIs (e.g., OwlAlpha, Gemma 4, and other OpenRouter free options). The presenter demonstrates building projects in real time inside a custom Agent Operating System dashboard with chat/voice input, workspace previews, and persistent memory via an Obsidian-based system, claiming this enables unlimited experimentation without token worries. Examples include a playable snake game, visual animations, real apps, and a 30-second showcase video generated using Remotion. The stack is described as Claude Code CLI + “Free Claude Code” + a free model “brain” (OwlAlpha with a million-token context window and native tool use) integrated into an Agent OS, with setup available via a zip file through the AI Profit Boardroom community. 00:00 Free Claude Code Intro 00:34 Demos and Results 00:59 Live Build Snake Game 01:32 How Free Setup Works 02:55 Video Agents With Remotion 03:31 Why Free Beats Tokens 04:30 Best Free Models List 05:35 Agent OS Access 06:12 OwlAlpha Brain Explained 07:21 Four Pillars Architecture 10:27 Myths and Objections 12:26 Easy Install and Community 13:44 Wrap Up and Next Steps
