  "summary": "The author optimized their Plex library using Claude Code and reclaimed 8TB of storage. They had previously used Unmanic, an open-source tool, to optimize media files and free up storage space. Adding content to a Plex library can quickly consume storage.\n\nClaude Code is an agentic coding interface that can be used with different models, including Kimi K3, GPT-5.4, and Gemini 3.7 Flash. According to Dev.to, users can configure Claude Code to work with various models through different methods, including using a community-developed tool called claude-code-router or pointing Claude Code at an Anthropic-compatible gateway.\n\nThe author does not specify how they used Claude Code to optimize their Plex library. XDA Developers mentions that the author had previously used Unmanic to optimize media files.",
