Learn how to run Claude Code with local open-source language models using Ollama, eliminating subscription costs and API fees. The setup involves downloading Ollama, selecting models like Qwen3 Coder, GLM 4.7 Flash, or GPT-OSS based on your hardware specs (14-32GB VRAM), and launching Claude Code with the special 'ollama launch claude' command. While these local models won't match Claude Opus or Sonnet 4.5 in capability, they provide a free, offline alternative for learning agentic coding, making quick edits, and experimenting without financial barriers. Context window sizes vary significantly between models (128k-256k tokens), with Qwen3 Coder offering the best balance at 256k tokens.

Claude Code + Ollama = Free Forever
