Using Local Coding Agents

SMRTR summary

Running coding agents fully locally is now viable thanks to better open-weight LLMs and improved harnesses like Claude Code or Codex. This walkthrough covers connecting a local LLM to a local coding harness, plus a practical checklist for evaluating models — covering RAM usage at long contexts, token throughput, tool-calling capability, security, and task performance — so you can pick the right model for real work.
