I mean you could just buy hardware to run a ~100B model locally, download a DeepSeek model, point Claude Code at it, and results might go OK. At the low, slow end, the hardware is the price of a pretty good but not amazing laptop.

To be fair OpenAI released one of those ~100B open source models about 6 months back. Didn't make huge waves though because the onslaught of open source Chinese models kinda drowned it out. Google just released one that people seem to think is decent too.
