Covers hardware requirements by RAM tier, model selection rationale, Ollama network server setup, and step-by-step configuration for each tool including specific gotchas like provider ID naming rules, model catalog generation, and compatibility flags. Honestly addresses where local models match cloud performance (refactors, tests, docs) versus where frontier models still lead (complex multi-file reasoning, novel algorithms). ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
