Local AI Coding Agent Setup with Ollama and Aider

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

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.

Meridian48 take
Practical guide for developers wanting offline AI coding help, but performance on CPU-only machines may be slow for larger models.
