Claude Code Desktop GRATUIT À VIE : Tuto Complet — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Well, hey everyone, it's Nathan. I hope
- 0:01you're doing well. In this video, I'm
- 0:04going to show you how to get Claude
- 0:06Code completely for free, and there's
- 0:08something you need to understand that
- 0:10many people haven't grasped yet: Claude
- 0:12Code is just a harness for AIs. That
- 0:14means Claude Code is everything that
- 0:16surrounds an AI model. And based on
- 0:18that principle, while Anthropic's
- 0:20models are indeed plugged into Claude
- 0:23Code, you can absolutely connect any
- 0:25other model to Claude Code to use it
- 0:27entirely for free with your own model.
- 0:30And before, it was impossible to do
- 0:32this because models weren't powerful
- 0:33enough to compete with Opus, Sonnet,
- 0:35and so on. So using Claude Code with
- 0:38another model was pointless because the
- 0:39models were so bad that it just wasn't
- 0:41feasible. So we kept using Claude Code
- 0:44with the base models. But today, what's
- 0:46happening is that the local models
- 0:48being released that run on your average
- 0:50person's computer are reaching the
- 0:51level of Claude Opus. Meaning the best
- 0:54model, not counting Claude Sonnet,
- 0:56which works extremely well with Claude
- 0:58Code, and in particular, a model like
- 1:00Qwen 2.5 32B, which is as powerful or
- 1:02even better than Opus. And that means
- 1:06if you connect Qwen 2.5, which runs on
- 1:08any average computer, to Claude Code,
- 1:10well, you have a Claude Code with a
- 1:12free Opus-level model for life, and you
- 1:14can ask it as many questions as you
- 1:15want. There are zero usage limits. I
- 1:18wanted to show you this little chart
- 1:20before we start the video. You can see
- 1:23that today, frontier models, paid and
- 1:25private models, are no longer the ones
- 1:27winning the AI battle. And today, we
- 1:29have open-source models like Qwen 2.5
- 1:31Max, for example, that are reaching the
- 1:33top spot. Now, this benchmark is from
- 1:35last week. It evolves so fast that in
- 1:37my opinion, within a week, it will
- 1:38already be outdated. But this is what
- 1:40it looks like currently. So we have a
- 1:42model that is open-source, which anyone
- 1:44can run. Well, not this one because
- 1:46it's very, very large, but essentially
- 1:47it's an open-source model that we could
- 1:49potentially run if we had the necessary
- 1:51computing power, and you can see it
- 1:53beats Claude Opus. So today, saying
- 1:55that private models are better than
- 1:58open-source models is false. Today,
- 2:01that's it; open-source models are just
- 2:03as good or even better than private
- 2:05models, so why not use them? So, we
- 2:07have the famous Qwen 2.5 Max arriving
- 2:09in first place, Claude 3.5 Sonnet that
- 2:11everyone knows which is private, Qwen
- 2:132.5 which is also open source arriving
- 2:15in 3rd place, and the old Qwen 2.5 Max
- 2:17version in 4th place. Here we have
- 2:19Claude 3.5 again but the "new" version
- 2:21this time, and Qwen 2.5 which also
- 2:23lands in 6th place, which is another
- 2:25open source model. Grok, Fable, all of
- 2:27those are paid models. Qwen 2.5 Flash,
- 2:29which I remind you runs without a
- 2:32graphics card if you have the necessary
- 2:34RAM and a good processor, you don't
- 2:36even need a GPU to run it. So ideally a
- 2:39Mac with unified memory, and it works
- 2:41super well. So if you have a Mac with a
- 2:44lot of RAM, you can run Qwen 2.5 Flash
- 2:47which is in 9th place and outperforms
- 2:50GPT-4o. So imagine the power if you
- 2:52connect this model to Claude, you get a
- 2:55supercharged Claude that's better than
- 2:57Claude 3.5 Sonnet, or at least in the
- 2:59same tier as the 3.5 Sonnet. Next, we
- 3:02have GLM, also GLM 4 Flash, which is an
- 3:04excellent model that, again, if you
- 3:06have a lot of RAM, you can run. And
- 3:09finally, we have the famous Qwen 2.5
- 3:1132B, which is also excellent and runs
- 3:13with only 16GB of VRAM. I made a video
- 3:16about it if you want the details, and
- 3:19it's better than GLM 4 and also Gemini
- 3:211.5 Flash, and it's really not far off
- 3:24from GPT-4o. We can see here in terms
- 3:26of points, there isn't a huge gap
- 3:28either. So we have a model that is on
- 3:30the same level as Claude 3. Claude. So
- 3:34how do you do it? The first thing you
- 3:36need to do is download the Claude
- 3:37application. You download it to your
- 3:39computer and you end up here. We don't
- 3:41want to pay, so we won't create an
- 3:43account, we won't sign up, we won't
- 3:44enter anything at all, we're just going
- 3:45to use Claude for free. So to do that,
- 3:48you'll need to go to the developer menu
- 3:49. But be careful, you don't have this
- 3:51menu by default. To be able to activate
- 3:53it, you have to go to Help and then
- 3:54Troubleshooting, and here in the list,
- 3:56you will have the option "Activate
- 3:58developer menu." I don't have it
- 3:59because I already activated it, but you
- 4:01will see "Activate developer option"
- 4:03here in the list. So you just have to
- 4:04click on it, and it will restart Claude
- 4:06. And then you reopen it, you arrive
- 4:07again at this window and there you have
- 4:09the famous developer menu that appears
- 4:11right at the top. On Windows, it's
- 4:12pretty much the same principle. You
- 4:13have the little burger menu that shows
- 4:15you the same options you have here on
- 4:16Mac. Once you have this menu appear,
- 4:18you just need to click on configure
- 4:20third-party inference. So you click on
- 4:22it and here you will be able to
- 4:23configure your external model. So, I
- 4:26had already done a configuration, but I
- 4:27will show you from scratch how to do it
- 4:29. So first you need your own AI server.
- 4:32For that, the simplest way is to use
- 4:33the Agent application. I will put the
- 4:34link for you in the description. For
- 4:36all those who have been following the
- 4:37channel for a long time, you know this
- 4:38application very well. It is developed
- 4:39by me and by the community. Now, I have
- 4:41many contributors, many people who work
- 4:43on the code and that makes me extremely
- 4:44happy. So the project is becoming
- 4:46really interesting and it's the
- 4:47simplest way to create your little
- 4:49server at home. So what I'm going to do
- 4:51now is head over to—well, I have
- 4:53access to my server via Agent Link. By
- 4:55the way, for all the people who haven't
- 4:57created an Agent Link account yet, here
- 4:59is what it looks like. So you have help
- 5:02, which is several pages explaining how
- 5:03to do this or that thing. Basically,
- 5:06it's tutorials. And you also have
- 5:07support, where you can chat directly
- 5:09with me, and I answer your questions if
- 5:11you have any, and I help you deploy
- 5:13your chat live with me. And you also
- 5:14have the list of servers, of course. So
- 5:16once you have connected your server,
- 5:18you can click on it and access it
- 5:20remotely from anywhere. So now I am on
- 5:22Agent. What I am going to do is head
- 5:25right here. I am going to go to API and
- 5:27here, I have enabled public exposure.
- 5:29So I will be able to connect to my
- 5:31Agent server, which is not at my home,
- 5:32from anywhere. So here, I am on my Mac
- 5:34and my Agent server is in another
- 5:35location, but I can still access it
- 5:36thanks to Agent Link. Otherwise, it
- 5:38will be the local network URL if you
- 5:40are on the same network as where your
- 5:42AI server is. So here, what I am going
- 5:45to do is take the API URL of my AI
- 5:47server and enter it right here. Now be
- 5:49careful, for Continue, you must remove
- 5:51the/v1 otherwise it won't work. And for
- 5:53the identifier type, make sure to set
- 5:55it to static API key. Next, for the API
- 5:57key, if you have Agent, you have it
- 5:59right here. So copy it and paste it
- 6:01right here. For the authentication
- 6:02schema, make sure to check Bearer. Next
- 6:04, right here, you'll see model
- 6:06discovery. You need to uncheck that,
- 6:07because by default, it doesn't discover
- 6:10the right model. So uncheck it, then go
- 6:12here, click add, and enter your model's
- 6:15configuration. For the model ID, I
- 6:17recommend using local cloud so you
- 6:19won't have any issues. For the display
- 6:21name, we'll keep Command 3.8 27B, but
- 6:23you can put whatever you want. If you
- 6:25want, name it Opus 4.6 so it feels like
- 6:26you're using Opus 4. But we'll keep
- 6:29Command 3.8 27B here, since that's the
- 6:31model running in the background. For
- 6:33the tier alias, you can put Opus, since
- 6:35it is an Opus-tier model. You can also
- 6:37display the estimated cost. This will
- 6:40let you see how many euros you've saved
- 6:42, because it shows what it would cost
- 6:44if you were paying for Claude, even
- 6:45though it's totally free for you since
- 6:47it's running on your own server. You'll
- 6:50just have to pay for the electricity,
- 6:52but that's nothing, less than 10 euros
- 6:54a month. It all depends on your
- 6:55hardware, your PC, etc., but generally,
- 6:57power consumption for AI remains very
- 6:59low. Once that's done, you can test the
- 7:01connection right here. When the little
- 7:03light turns green, it's perfect. You
- 7:05can then apply the changes. So now I'm
- 7:07going to rename it Opus 4. For the
- 7:10example, apply changes, save, and
- 7:12restart. And Claude will automatically
- 7:14restart. There you go, Claude is open;
- 7:16I didn't even log in, yet I have full
- 7:18access to Claude. So, I have the model
- 7:19name appearing right here. It says Opus
- 7:214.6 because that's the name I gave it,
- 7:23but you could have put 3.8 27B. And now
- 7:25, I'm ready to work. But wait, just
- 7:27before that, let's look at my system
- 7:29prompts. A system prompt that is huge.
- 7:32It's nearly 20,000 tokens. So if your
- 7:34context window is too small like with
- 7:36this model, it won't work. It works
- 7:38very well with a 65k context on Agent,
- 7:41but it doesn't work well with Claude.
- 7:43In any case, you will be limited. So if
- 7:45you're using Continue, I recommend
- 7:47using a large context instead. For
- 7:49example, I have this Q4K XL model here
- 7:51that has 135k context. So we'll be much
- 7:53more comfortable with that. I'll just
- 7:54select it. I'll switch to this model.
- 7:57I'll wait for it to load. There we go,
- 7:59the model is ready and loaded. I'll
- 8:00also show you the configuration I've
- 8:02set up. We're using the Qwen 2.5 7B Q4K
- 8:05XL. I put it on both cards because I
- 8:07have two graphics cards. We have
- 8:09135,000 for the context. For the
- 8:10offload mode, I've set it to layer mode
- 8:12. I'll make a dedicated video for that
- 8:13later, but it significantly speeds up
- 8:15the generation rate. It adds
- 8:16practically 10 tokens per second. So I
- 8:19recommend enabling this mode if you're
- 8:20using two graphics cards. For the cache
- 8:22, we're on Q5_1; it's practically the
- 8:24same as Q8 but saves a bit of space. We
- 8:26enable MTP, and the most important part
- 8:29is the configuration. I'm just using a
- 8:32custom chat template here that allows
- 8:34it to work with Continue, because by
- 8:36default, the Qwen 2.5 chat template
- 8:38doesn't work with Continue since it
- 8:39places system messages within the
- 8:41conversation, whereas Continue requires
- 8:43the system message to be strictly at
- 8:45the beginning and never afterwards.
- 8:48Because of that chat template format,
- 8:51the base Qwen 2.5 template doesn't work
- 8:53. That's why I created a corrected chat
- 8:56template to work with Continue. I'll
- 8:58provide it for download in the
- 9:00description so you can get it. If
- 9:02you're in the settings, you just need
- 9:04to add this line, the template engine,
- 9:06to enable the chat template, and for
- 9:08the chat template file, load the one
- 9:10you downloaded to ensure it's
- 9:11compatible with Continue. I'll let you
- 9:14copy my configuration if you'd like.
- 9:15Once that's done, everything is
- 9:17configured. We don't need the settings
- 9:18anymore. We can go straight to Continue
- 9:20, say hi, and see if it responds. It
- 9:23takes a little while to start up at
- 9:24first, about a minute; that's normal.
- 9:26It's because it's reading the entire
- 9:27massive system prompt from Continue. If
- 9:29it takes time to start at the beginning
- 9:30, it's totally normal. There, it's
- 9:32responding. There we go. Hi, what can I
- 9:33do for you? So let's test it out. We'll
- 9:35tell it to create a test.txt file on
- 9:38the desktop and tell people to
- 9:41subscribe. There we go, let's get
- 9:43started. It's generating that right now
- 9:44. As you can see, it's really close.
- 9:46Just like if I were using Claude paid,
- 9:47even though I'm not at all. I'm using a
- 9:49Claude 3.8 behind the scenes that I'm
- 9:50absolutely not paying for and that runs
- 9:52locally on my server. So there it is,
- 9:53it's creating the test file. It's
- 9:55exactly the same user experience as if
- 9:56I were paying for the other Claude.
- 9:58It's done. It created the test.txt file
- 10:00on my desktop where it says that it
- 10:01obviously has no way to actually
- 10:03contact people. But that's normal, it
- 10:04was just for a test. I'm going to tell
- 10:06it that, let's see what it replies. It
- 10:07was just for a test. To see if it works
- 10:11well. Sure, I created the file without
- 10:13any issues. Do you want me to delete it
- 10:14or leave it? Let's verify it first
- 10:16before it deletes it. So indeed, it
- 10:18created it right here. Wait, it didn't
- 10:19put the text inside. That's normal
- 10:21because it thought I really wanted to
- 10:22send that to people. Go write a message
- 10:26in this file telling people to
- 10:29subscribe. It's written don't forget to
- 10:32subscribe. So yes, it correctly put "
- 10:33don't forget to subscribe" directly in
- 10:35the file. So it's working correctly. I
- 10:36can even tell it to create a landing
- 10:40page to present Claude in an HTML file.
- 10:44So here, we even have access to
- 10:46Anthropic's skills. So it will use its
- 10:48frontend design skill to make a nice
- 10:50design. We really have code that works
- 10:52perfectly. There we go, the generation
- 10:53is complete. So, it wrote about 400
- 10:55lines of code and coded this little
- 10:57landing page that briefly presents the
- 10:59Claude Opus model. The site is
- 11:01perfectly responsive, and it's quite
- 11:03nice. Well, nothing too special, it's
- 11:05just a very basic little presentation
- 11:07of Claude Opus. I didn't ask for
- 11:09anything more. And we have a site that
- 11:11is beautiful, functional, and does
- 11:12exactly what I asked. So that's it for
- 11:14the example. You can now use Claude
- 11:16code entirely for free thanks to this
- 11:19technique. And obviously, when there
- 11:21are new, even more powerful models, or
- 11:23even if you want to connect other
- 11:24models, you can do it directly from the
- 11:26agent. You just have to create presets,
- 11:28and when you change presets, you don't
- 11:30need to reconfigure everything. You
- 11:32have the model that updates
- 11:33automatically on Continue. For example,
- 11:35if I switch here to the Q27BQ6K MTP, so
- 11:37the slightly less quantized model,
- 11:39which is a bit smarter, it will switch
- 11:41over. I could keep talking here
- 11:43directly in Continue. I don't need to
- 11:45reconfigure it every time. That's why
- 11:46it's best to use your provider's name
- 11:48for the model name. So if you're on
- 11:50Ollama, write Ollama. That way, you
- 11:51know it's connected directly to Ollama,
- 11:53and you can change the models later
- 11:54right inside Ollama. There, I'm done
- 11:56with this short tutorial. I'm not going
- 11:57into details here because I've already
- 11:59covered the model and Ollama
- 12:01configuration in other videos. I'll
- 12:03make a video dedicated to Ollama soon
- 12:04so you can see how to install it,
- 12:06configure it, and so on, but there's
- 12:07nothing very complicated. You go to the
- 12:09site at the bottom, download the .exe
- 12:11directly, click on it, it opens on
- 12:12Windows, and you just have to do your
- 12:14configurations, following the videos
- 12:15I've already made on the subject to set
- 12:17it up. So there you go, I'll let you
- 12:19have fun with Continue. Don't hesitate
- 12:21to give me your feedback on your best
- 12:22settings and how you use it. Does it
- 12:24work well? And also, for those who have
- 12:26a slightly less powerful PC, I
- 12:27recommend using Ollama directly without
- 12:29going through Continue because
- 12:31everything is integrated into Ollama.
- 12:33You have the same functionality as
- 12:35Continue. You have projects, memory,
- 12:37internet access; you have everything
- 12:39included. So just talk directly with
- 12:41Ollama right here. It also works
- 12:42extremely well. You don't necessarily
- 12:44need to connect it to Continue because
- 12:46Continue requires having a large
- 12:47context. So, I hope you enjoyed this
- 12:49short video. Don't forget to like,
- 12:50subscribe, and share if you liked the
- 12:52video. And we'll see you very soon in
- 12:54the next video. This is Nathan Nine Tus
