Here's how you can run Claude Code for free

Transcript

If you want access the full power of Claude Code but don't have $200 a month to spend on the max plan, I got you. Stick around for the next 30 seconds, I'll show you exactly how you can run a Claude code for free. But first, save this video for later in case you need to come back to it. So the first thing you're gonna do is go to ollama.com and download the app. For those that don't know, Ollama is a platform that allows you to run all of these open source models directly on your computer. Then all you gotta do is type in Ollama Pool Quinn 2.5 dash coder 14b. Now, what model you actually depends on how many gigabytes of RAM you have on your computer. Typically, if you have 16, the 14B works perfectly. But if you only have 8 gigabytes, download the 7B model instead. Then once you have that download, all you gotta do is type this command right here, and then this command right here. This will assign the underlying model for Claude to use the Quinn B coder that just downloaded. And then boom, just like that you have Claude open source model, and you didn't have to pay a penny.
