Local AI Coding Agent Setup with Ollama and Aider
A developer details a local AI coding assistant setup using Ollama on Windows and Aider in WSL2, running the Qwen2.5-Coder model entirely on CPU. The architecture keeps Ollama on Windows for multi-app use while Aider operates in Linux for development. The guide covers installation, networking fixes, and performance tips for machines without dedicated GPUs.
