## Side note: launching Claude Code with third-party models

Because Option 1 is a launcher you control, you can also use it to launch Claude Code with any third-party, Anthropic-API-compatible model, such as DeepSeek. Set model-routing variables in the same launcher environment:

For GLM 5.2, point the connection at z.ai and map every model to `glm-5.2`:

```sh
# --- Connection ---
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic"
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your token"
# --- Model mapping ---
export ANTHROPIC_MODEL="glm-5.2"
export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL="glm-5.2"
export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL="glm-5.2"
export ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL="glm-5.2"
export CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL="glm-5.2"
```

For examples of the launcher with GLM 5.2 enabled, see these two Gists:

* <https://gist.github.com/phase3dev/b7c341d63f666479be0aff847a5bd018> - a simplified version of the current launcher containing only the GLM 5.2 launch code and related environment variables.
* <https://gist.github.com/phase3dev/1f7ee1cb17151c19d538e053f4f548ca> - the full current launcher from the repo with all features enabled and GLM 5.2 active.

Setup is otherwise identical to Option 1. This is unrelated to the fixes above.
