Deploy Claude Sonnet 5.5 locally and run agentic coding.
1️⃣ Install Ollama (if not done) → curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh.
2️⃣ Pull Claude Sonnet 5.5 → ollama pull claude-sonnet-5.5. Ollama wraps the model with an OpenAI‑compatible API.
3️⃣ Use the OpenAI‑compatible endpoint in your IDE or script:
```bash
export OPENAI_API_BASE=http://localhost:11434/v1
export OPENAI_MODEL=claude-sonnet-5.5
openai api chat.completions.create -m $OPENAI_MODEL -g 'Write a Python function to parse CSV safely.'
```
4️⃣ Enable cost‑control flags (Ollama respects --max-tokens and --temperature). Example: ollama run claude-sonnet-5.5 --max-tokens 1024 --temperature 0.2.
🔧 Gotcha: Claude Sonnet 5.5 may require a GPU for reasonable latency; on CPU‑only machines set --cpu and expect slower responses.
