local-llm-claude-code

Set up a FREE local LLM (via Ollama) and connect Claude Code to it so it runs offline with no API costs. Use this whenever the user wants to run Claude Code on a local/self-hosted model, use Ollama/Qwen/Llama/Mistral/DeepSeek with Claude Code, get a "free" or "offline" coding agent, avoid Anthropic API costs, point ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL at localhost, or asks "can my machine/VPS run a local LLM for Claude Code". Trigger even if they only say "run Claude Code locally", "local model for coding", "self-hosted Claude Code", or name a local model (qwen3, llama3, deepseek-coder). Handles install, model tuning, wiring, and an honest hardware reality-check (a capable model AND fast hardware are BOTH required).
