Claude Code with OmniRoute: Windows setup tutorial

This tutorial connects Claude Code to OmniRoute on a Windows PC. The presenter installs Node.js, launches OmniRoute on localhost, and adds cloud providers through API keys or account authorization. The routing service runs locally, but the models run in the cloud. This is not an offline setup for running model inference on your own hardware.

The walkthrough covers OpenRouter's free-model import, OpenCode, Kiro, Antigravity, and Nvidia NIM. The presenter tests connections and encounters unavailable or failing models, including MiniMax M2.7. He then creates a named model combo, adds models across providers, and selects the round robin strategy. He describes automatic switching when a model fails or reaches its quota.

The Claude Code setup includes a Windows PATH fix and PowerShell environment variables for the localhost endpoint, OmniRoute key, and combo name. OmniRoute must be running before the coding assistant connects. The presenter checks requests in its control center, then demonstrates a generated channel website with npm run dev.

The speaker claims access to 1.6 billion free tokens per day. The demonstration does not establish that allowance; it shows configuration steps, connection tests, and a website example.
