Oh yes guys the time has come.

Yes you read that correctly folks, Qwen has smashed this one out of the park. Thanks to the power of Quantization (the art of compressing models like ZIP files), we're able to get the model size down from 93gb to just 22GB while retaining 90% of it's intelligence.. Note it's an 80b model so in this case you'll still have a fantastic time even with a Q1 or Q2 version. I'm using Q2 K_M and it hasn't failed once. You too can run this incredible model completely locally, offline and without paying a single dollar. We'll cover this in depth in tomorrow's live so don't forget to tune in!

Quick one: If you're not using terminal based agents yet.. You're already behind Here's Why. Terminal Agents are: - Lightweight - only use minimal compute resources to run - Can run for hours if not days - without any human intervention required ( if you know what you're doing) - Can work on multiple projects at once - Come back once the build's complete And so much more. Big question though.. Do I have to pay? No. That's why you're here :) You can use Ollama with Claude Code and get shit done! Here's how it works. Claude Code is Anthropic’s agentic coding tool that can read, modify, and execute code in your working directory. Open models can be used with Claude Code through Ollama’s Anthropic-compatible API, enabling you to use models such as qwen3-coder, gpt-oss:20b, or other models. Install Install Claude Code: macOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash Windows irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex Usage with Ollama Claude Code connects to Ollama using the Anthropic-compatible API. Set the environment variables: export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=ollama export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434 Run Claude Code with an Ollama model: claude --model gpt-oss:20b Or run with environment variables inline: ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=ollama ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434 claude --model gpt-oss:20b CLOUD MODELS ALSO WORK AND WORK VERY WELL! Note: Claude Code requires a large context window. We recommend at least 32K tokens. Free. Unlimited coding. All at your disposal. Happy building! PS. Do you want a live stream for this?

When I started in open source AI, I thought it'd be some time before we can use it for production level tasks and operations. Now just 12 months on.. That time has come. Your own Windsurf. Yes you read that correctly. Our team of AI agents have done the impossible. We've created our own AI coding agent that works in a VS code environment. Guys we are so proud of this achievement you have no idea. Works just like Cursor, Windsurf, Google Antigravity and many more coding agents on the market. Our difference? You own it! And you use any LLM you like :) Download for Windows here: https://github.com/hamishfromatech/A-Coder/tree/dev Under Releases, Pre release :) This is has been an amazing learning experience. And I can't wait to see what you build! PS Mac coming soon!
