Ask HN: A good Model to choose in Ollama to run on Claude Code
Given that Claude Code supports a locally running model on Ollama, which is the best Thinking Model that supports tooling, can I pick for good output?
Also, if anyone has tried, does it still require a Claude Subscription?
(I currently have an RTX 5060 machine with 8GB of VRAM) Hey! One of the maintainers of Ollama. 8GB of VRAM is a bit tight for coding agents since their prompts are quite large. You could try playing with qwen3 and at least 16k context length to see how it works.
