Notes, prices and limits
Claude Code speaks Anthropic’s Messages API, and so does Synap. Recommended model: qwen3-coder-30b —
$0.0675 in and $0.27 out
per 1M tokens, 98,304-token context.
The base URL has no /v1 — Claude Code appends /v1/messages itself.
ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL is what Claude Code uses for its own small background tasks; pointing it at Synap keeps those on Synap too.
Without CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS Claude Code opens on a warning that it does not recognise the model. The number is this model’s context window.
Tool use and streaming behave as they do with Anthropic.
On the free tier: every request counts input and output against 100,000 free tokens a day, and answers stop at 4,096 output tokens. Coding agents send long prompts, so the free tier covers a short session; credits cover the rest.
