Is there a way to use Claude Code for free?

through Azure AI Foundry. Deploy the model, create an API key, make API calls for Claude models through Azure API key = it uses Claudes model and spends Azures credits for billing.

i didnt use it specifically for claude, but for other models. they gave me around 15k USD so far

oh thanks for information

its saved my lots of dollars

how can you get the initial 15k from them, what are the requirements?

you can check their startup program.

in my case: i have a company, they gave me $5k initial. they saw i spent it over 1-2 years. when it came to an end and I overspent, they sent me an email with an invitation code giving me another $10k.

i am about to have spent all of the $10k as well and no idea if they will grant me more or not. usually there are some requirements to unlock $150k or so. like you have to use specific APIs or products.

they usually operate in a way they dont give you all the credits at once. first they gave me 5k, then they gave me 10k. next it could be possible they give me 20k or more. lets see

I see, that is interesting, thanks for your detailed response, i'll look more into this since it sounds quite nice.

i am curious about this too I've seen different options mentioned but i am more interested in legitimate long term solutions than temporary workarounds it would be helpful to hear what others are using these days

Most of these tools require payment; however, you can look for applications that offer a free trial period before charging fees, which may require you to frequently search for such apps or create new accounts on them.

Nope. If there was a legit unlimited free option, everyone would already be using it.
