I built a local Claude Code alternative with Ollama — here's how the agentic loop works
Jeff Green has developed a local alternative to cloud-based coding assistants called Eve. This self-hosted agentic coding assistant operates on the user's GPU and features a dual-layer system that combines personality with autonomous coding capabilities. The design aims to enhance privacy and reduce costs associated with cloud services while providing a more interactive experience.
- ▪Eve is a self-hosted coding assistant that runs entirely on local hardware.
- ▪It features a personality layer that allows for conversational interaction and a separate agentic layer for complex coding tasks.
- ▪The system utilizes a 40-round agentic loop to autonomously handle coding operations without user intervention.
