How to point Claude Code or Codex at a local model with strata connect with Strata

Use Strata's OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs so your coding agent runs on your own GPU.

Short answer: Install Strata and start a model with strata launch; then run strata connect to see the setup instructions for your tool; Apply the settings for Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode or another listed tool. All steps.

Who it is forA developer who wants coding agent help on private code without sending it to a cloud API.

The problemCoding agents default to cloud models, which cost money per token and send your code off the machine.

The outcomeClaude Code, Codex CLI or OpenCode talking to a model served by Strata on your machine.

What you need first

  • Windows, Linux or macOS on supported hardware (NVIDIA RTX 20 to 50, recent AMD Radeon, Intel Arc on Linux, Apple Silicon M1 or newer)
  • Plenty of free disk space; DeepSeekV4.1 sets need about 245 to 280 GB
  • The model packs download on first run

Steps

  1. Install Strata and start a model with strata launch
  2. Run strata connect to see the setup instructions for your tool
  3. Apply the settings for Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode or another listed tool
  4. Pick the Coder pack from the Models docs if you mostly write code
  5. Run a small coding task and compare speed and quality with your cloud model

Prompt for your agent

Using Niko1221/Strata, start a local model, run strata connect, and configure <Claude Code or Codex CLI> to use it following the printed instructions. Then run a small refactor on <file> and report tokens per second.

Caveat. Local models are slower than cloud APIs on most consumer GPUs; the README lists 4 to 25 tokens per second for DeepSeekV4.1 on single cards.
