What you'll learn

Connect an open model to your coding agent

Learn to connect Open Code to a free open model by connecting to Ollama.

Set up a local coding agent for free

Learn to run an open source coding agent locally without paying for API tokens.

Compare open models for coding tasks

Learn to evaluate models like GLM, DeepSeek, and Qwen for real coding work.

Run a coding agent without a Claude subscription

Learn to run agentic coding workflows on open models entirely for free.

Why this topic matters

Most people don't know how to work with Open Models. Open models like GLM and DeepSeek now run coding agents at a fraction of the cost, sometimes for free through generous API tiers. This means you protect your data and you're never locked into one company's pricing or rate limits.
