Hey! 👋 Here's what I promised you — the 5 trending repos with their links:

1. OpenClaude — like Claude Code, but it runs any model you want: local models, open-source models, or the cheap/free Chinese models, all inside the same Claude Code-style workflow.

🔗GitHubhttps://github.com/Gitlawb/openclaude 🔗Sitehttps://openclaude.gitlawb.com

npm install -g @gitlawb/openclaude@latest

Then run openclaude and type /provider to pick your model (needs Node.js 22+).

2. Invidious — an open-source front-end for YouTube: no ads, no tracking, no account needed.

3. OpenMAIC — built by researchers at Tsinghua University: an AI classroom with AI teachers and classmates (multi-agent), in one click.

4. Academic Research Skills — Claude Code skills for research: it searches sources, writes the report, reviews and revises it (research → write → review → revise → finalize).

/plugin marketplace add Imbad0202/academic-research-skills
/plugin install academic-research-skills

5. MiniMind — train your own small LLM (64M parameters) from scratch in about 2 hours, very cheap. Great to understand how models work, or to build a small model for your own use case.
