As a developer, I got tired of waiting 5 days for Claude resets and burning through Cursor’s $20 credit pool.
I was building an editorial platform and I was at a critical point where I was developing a new feature that involved build on the admin, server and the platform concurrently for complete context and I was hit with the weekly limit by Claude right in the middle of it, having to wait 5 days because of the context.
Frustrating ! ! !
I'm building at senior engineering level with Claude's Opus 4.7 in VS Code, and I want to be able to do that without usage limits, weekly caps, or surprise bills.
After lots of research online, I finally set up completely free, local AI models running directly in VS Code using Ollama + Continue.dev.
