How I Use Claude Code with Gemma 4 (Local LLMs, No API Costs)

In this video, I show how to use Claude Code together with a locally running Gemma 4 model — and how you can do the same with any other local LLM like Qwen Coder or Qwen 3.5.

I'll walk you through the full setup: installing Claude Code, configuring LM Studio as a local API server, and connecting everything so Claude Code uses your own machine's model instead of a paid Anthropic model.
