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!

Learn how to use Ollama in 2026! This complete ollama tutorial covers everything you need to run large language models (LLMs) locally on Linux, Mac, and Windows. We dive into the CLI, new Cloud features, and how to use local ollama Python scripts to integrate AI into your own projects.In this video, we explore the power of ollama to run open-source models like Gemma and Mistral without paying for cloud API fees. You will learn how to download models, manage them via the command line, create custom model files, and set up a local server. Key Topics Covered:
Installing Ollama on any operating system.
Running your first LLM locally (Gemma, Llama, etc.).
Using Ollama Cloud to offload heavy models (like 100B+ params).
Writing Python scripts to interact with your local models.
Creating custom "Modelfiles" for personalized AI behavior.

I put together a practical breakdown of modern AI coding tools (Copilot, Gemini, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, etc.).
Focus is not “best AI”, but:
what tasks each tool is actually good at
assistant vs agent workflows
IDE vs CLI vs AI-native editors
Sharing in case it helps others navigate this space.
