ollama launch
Blog post from Ollama
Ollama launch is a command that simplifies setting up and running coding tools like Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex by using local or cloud models without the need for environment variables or config files. Users can get started by downloading Ollama v0.15+ and running specific commands in a terminal, with a requirement of around 23 GB VRAM for local models and a context length of 64,000 tokens. The tool supports integrations with models such as glm-4.7-flash and gpt-oss:20b for local use, and glm-4.7:cloud and qwen3-coder:480b-cloud for cloud use. It caters to extended coding sessions by allowing for a 5-hour window and offers a cloud service that provides full context length and generous usage limits, even at the free tier. Additionally, users can configure tools without launching them immediately, providing flexibility and convenience in managing coding workflows.
