Claude Code runs offline locally via Ollama, enabling multi-agent voice control

A user has detailed how to run Claude Code offline on a Mac by pointing it to a local LLM via Ollama, enabling coding sessions without an internet connection. This setup is particularly useful for flights or areas with unreliable Wi-Fi, offering privacy and cost benefits over cloud-based models. The user also shared a more complex project that evolved into a multi-agent system controlled by voice commands, capable of breaking down tasks, recruiting sub-agents, and performing reviews, though it still faces challenges with speaker verification and over-planning. AI

IMPACT Enables offline use of AI coding assistants and explores multi-agent voice control, offering flexibility and new interaction paradigms.
