Summary Report

Ollama v0.33's one-toggle gateway lets Claude Desktop use any local or cloud model inside Ollama, then switch back with no filesystem edits.

  • 01. Turn it off again and you're straight back to your normal first-party Anthropic setup
  • 02. Puts local and cloud open models properly on equal footing with Claude inside the same app
Ollama version 0.33 has landed, and it makes connecting Claude Desktop to Ollama as a third-party gateway a single toggle instead of a manual setup job. You can pick from any model inside Ollama, local or cloud, right from within Claude Desktop.
