### OPUS ◀── SONNET ◀── HAIKU — One Model Family, Many Free Routes: Chats, Credits, Passes, and Local Frontends * * * ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/a/e/ae319cbd87536dda161541ad48178e81644d17bf.jpeg) * * * You’re not paying $20/mo for Claude. You’re paying for **a higher meter on one chat door.** The same models — Opus, Sonnet — are free to _chat_ with through a stack of other doors, and the per-account limit is easy to rotate around. Here’s the whole ring, **cheapest entry first.** _(💎 gem · 📵 no login · ⚠ grey/foreign · never a stolen key.)_ > ⭐ **Chat with Opus in 10 seconds, no account:** [LMArena → “Direct Chat” tab → pick Claude Opus](https://lmarena.ai/) · flagship [ChatX → Opus 4.8](https://chatx.ai/claude) · anonymous [Duck.ai → Haiku](https://duck.ai/).

Carry the ring of keys, and the wall isn’t there._
