The $200 subscriptions and API fees make it hard to get started with AI coding—so I built a solution that runs Claude Code 100% free on your computer using local models.
In this video I'll walk you through a live demo of the full setup: free local models through Ollama, budget-friendly alternatives like DeepSeek and MiniMax, and a flexible interface that supports multiple coding agents including Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and OpenAI Codex.
You'll see how to switch between chat mode and interactive mode, configure any LLM provider you want, and use the complete development environment with a built-in editor and shell. I'll also walk through the entire installation step by step so you can get up and running today—whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced developer looking to cut costs.
