CCProxy v1.0: Use Any AI Model with Claude Code

TL;DR: Love Claude Code but need GPT-4's latest features? Want Gemini's massive context window? Need Qwen3's superior reasoning? CCProxy v1.0 lets you use ANY model while keeping Claude Code's amazing interface. One tool, infinite possibilities.

🎉 The Problem We All Face

You're deep into a project with Claude Code. Everything's flowing perfectly until...

Developer: "I need Kimi K2's coding performance - it beats Claude Sonnet at 1/10th the cost!"
Marketer: "This campaign needs Gemini's 1M token context for analyzing all our data"
Writer: "I want to try OpenAI's o3 for this technical documentation - it's the best reasoning model out there!"

The frustration is real. You love Claude Code's capabilities and tool calling intelligence, but you're locked into one model. Until now.

Introducing CCProxy Version 1.0

CCProxy is the bridge between Claude Code and the entire AI universe. Keep your workflow, expand your possibilities.

For Developers: Technical Freedom

bash

# Monday: Complex debugging with Claude
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3456
claude "Debug this race condition"

# Tuesday: API integration with GPT-4's functions
# Same interface, different model!
claude "Generate OpenAPI spec with function calling"

# Wednesday: Analyze large codebase with Gemini
claude "Review this 100K line repository"

Why developers love it:

Switch models based on task complexity
Use cheaper models for simple tasks (save 90% on costs)
Access specialized models (DeepSeek for algorithms, Gemini for analysis)
Keep your muscle memory and shortcuts

For Marketers: Speed and Scale

Common Marketing Scenarios Solved:

The Multi-Model Reality of 2025

The AI development landscape has fundamentally shifted. No single model rules them all anymore.

As our research shows, successful development teams in 2025 are adopting multi-model strategies:

Claude 4 for nuanced understanding and complex coding
Grok 4 Code for production development (72-75% SWE-bench score)
Gemini 2.5 Pro (March 2025) for massive context operations (63.8% SWE-bench)
Gemini 2.0 Flash for FREE experimentation with 1M token context
DeepSeek V3 for budget-conscious teams
Qwen3 235B for breakthrough mathematical reasoning (70.3 AIME)

The problem? Switching between models means juggling multiple tools, APIs, and workflows.

Enter CCProxy: One Tool, Infinite Possibilities

CCProxy solves this fragmentation by transforming Claude Code into a universal AI development platform. With this release, we're not just fixing bugs – we're revolutionizing how developers access AI.

🔒 Security First: Bulletproof Installation

We've completely rewritten our installation script to address critical security vulnerabilities:

bash

# Before: Vulnerable to injection attacks
VERSION=$(curl -s $API | grep tag_name | sed ...)

# After: Secure with validation
validate_version() {
    if [[ ! "$version" =~ ^v?[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$ ]]; then
        echo "Invalid version format"
        exit 1
    fi
}

Key Security Improvements:

✅ GoSec security scans on every commit
✅ Rigorous code reviews for all changes
✅ Input validation prevents URL injection attacks
✅ Explicit sudo consent – no silent privilege escalation
✅ Binary verification ensures you're downloading legitimate executables
✅ Checksum validation guarantees file integrity
✅ Secure temp files with proper permissions (600/700)

🎯 The Truth About Providers: 5 Direct, 100+ Through OpenRouter

We've corrected our documentation to be completely transparent:

Directly Supported Providers (5):

Anthropic - Native Claude support with full transformers
OpenAI - Complete GPT compatibility
Google Gemini - Full multimodal support
DeepSeek - Optimized for coding tasks
OpenRouter - Gateway to 100+ additional models

No longer misleading users about direct support for Groq, XAI, or Mistral. These are available through OpenRouter, giving you access to:

Kimi K2 via Groq's ultra-fast infrastructure
Grok models for real-time data
Mistral for European privacy compliance
100+ other models from various providers

🔥 Kimi K2: The Claude Sonnet Killer

One of the most exciting integrations is Kimi K2 – Moonshot AI's open-source model that's giving Claude Sonnet a run for its money:

json

{
  "routes": {
    "default": {
      "provider": "openrouter",
      "model": "moonshot/kimi-k2-128k"
    }
  }
}

Why developers are switching to Kimi K2:

Performance: 65.8% SWE-bench (vs Claude Sonnet's similar score)
Cost: Only $0.15/1M input tokens (vs Claude's $15 - that's 100x cheaper!)
Speed: Sub-second responses for most queries
Context: 128K token window for entire codebases
Open Source: Transparency and community-driven improvements

🚀 Qwen3 235B: The Reasoning Champion

Another star is Qwen3 235B – Alibaba's groundbreaking model that's redefining mathematical and logical reasoning:

json

{
  "routes": {
    "default": {
      "provider": "openrouter",
      "model": "qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b:free"
    }
  }
}

Mind-blowing benchmarks:

AIME25 Score: 70.3 (vs GPT-4o's 26.7) 🤯
Cost: FREE via OpenRouter
Architecture: 235B total / 22B active parameters
Languages: 119 supported
