Sllm vs ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL: two ways to get unlimited Claude tokens Two approaches just landed on Hacker News in the same week: sllm (split a GPU node with other developers) and ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL proxies. Both promise unlimited tokens. They work very differently. Here's the practical comparison. The core difference sllm gives you shared compute - you're literally splitting GPU time with strangers on a node. Cheap, but your inference speed depends on who else is using the node right now. ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL proxies give you a managed Claude API endpoint.
