Did you know the new Claude Code CLI tool doesn't have to run on Anthropic's servers?
In my latest video, I show you a "hack" to redirect Claude Code to use your local Ollama server. This means you can use open-source models (like Llama 3, Qwen, or GPT-OSS) directly in your terminal for free.
Why do this?
Privacy: Your proprietary code never leaves your local network.
Cost: Zero API fees.
The Catch? I put it to the test on a machine with 32GB RAM and 8GB VRAM. While it works, the speed difference compared to the cloud is massive.
Check out the full tutorial and performance test to see if your rig can handle it!
