Editor's note
Claude Code Local is a Python-based server that runs an Anthropic-compatible API endpoint entirely on Apple Silicon Macs using the MLX framework, allowing Claude Code to communicate with local models instead of Anthropic's cloud. It supports three primary models: Qwen 3.5 122B, Llama 3.3 70B, and Gemma 4 31B, with DeepSeek V4 Flash added via Antirez's ds4 engine for one-million-token context windows. Qwen 3.5 122B achieves 65 tokens per second on-device and completes a Claude Code benchmark task in 17.6 seconds. Four operating modes are available, including a hands-free voice loop that keeps speech recognition and synthesis local. Because no data leaves the machine, the project targets lawyers, healthcare providers, accountants, and contractors who handle NDA-protected or regulated material and cannot send content to external APIs. The repository also references a pre-configured Mac mini product called the AirGap Box for teams that prefer a ready-to-deploy appliance.
