ollama x claude code

Abstract

free access to claude code anywhere

with skills being introduced, you might find yourself needing to run an agent on a remote/ disposible instance.

Since Ollama cloud is providing free cloud models (at the time of this writing), you can actually access Claude Code with it anywhere without any cost nor GPU.

On your remote instance (or any machine):

# install claude
curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash
# install ollama
curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
# download a free cloud model
ollama pull nemotron-3-super:cloud
ollama signin
ollama launch claude --model nemotron-3-super:cloud

1

this is the official installation method

2

this also is Ollama’s official installation method

3

the list of available models for the free tier will change, check here for an updated list

4

you’ll need to signin to use the cloud model

And that’s it! You are welcome ;)
