Local Agents

Recently I saw an interesting article , saying that someone could build a general purpose coding agent in 131 lines of Python code. That's a neat idea, though I'm not sure that this is better than just using Claude Code, especially as the agent still uses the online version of the Claude model from Anthropic to generate code or perform other tasks. There's a video in the article showing how this code can be used to perform some quick tasks on a computer. However, the code isn't specific to Anthropic. It can be used with any LLM, and I started doing just that, with a copy of the code from the article, but modified to use a local AI LLM running under Ollama. You can see my repo and feel free to download and play with it. It's expecting a local LLM on 11434. Read the rest of Local Agents
