Local Coding Agent
30 MINS
Run local CLI coding agents with Claude Code and Ollama on DGX Station (NVIDIA GB300) using qwen3.6:27b
Basic idea
Use Ollama on DGX Station (NVIDIA GB300) to run a local coding model and connect a CLI coding agent. This
playbook uses Claude Code with ollama launch so you can work without external cloud APIs.
The DGX Station GPU (reported as NVIDIA GB300 in nvidia-smi) provides ample memory to run qwen3.6:27b with Ollama for local coding-agent workflows.
CLI agent
This playbook uses Claude Code as the CLI agent, connected to a local Ollama model for inference.
What you'll accomplish
You will run qwen3.6:27b on your DGX Station (NVIDIA GB300) with Ollama, connect Claude Code to it, and complete a small coding task end-to-end.
What to know before starting
- Comfort with Linux command line basics
- Experience running terminal-based tools and editors
- Familiarity with Python for the short coding task
Prerequisites
- DGX Station with NVIDIA GB300 (Grace Blackwell) and NVIDIA driver;
nvidia-smitypically shows "NVIDIA GB300" - Internet access to download model weights
- Ollama 0.15.0 or newer
- GPU memory on GB300 supports the recommended
qwen3.6:27bmodel - Disk space for the
qwen3.6:27bmodel download
Time & risk
- Duration: ~20–30 minutes (includes model download)
- Risk level: Low
- Large model downloads can fail if network connectivity is unstable
- Older Ollama versions will not load newer models
- Rollback: Stop Ollama and delete the downloaded model from
