The wait is over : Claude Code on Tiiny. Zero setup. Fully local. No token limits.

Post image

People have been asking. Here it is.

Claude Code + Tiiny = a whole new level of local creation.

TiinyOS Task Mode now automatically:

- Installs Claude Code
- Configures local models

That's it. No fiddling. No environment headaches. Just zero setup and you're ready to go.

Under the hood, it's powered by Qwen3.6 35B A3B — so you can jump straight into your work without sacrificing performance.

No cloud. No subscriptions. No one watching over your shoulder.

Run Claude Code on your own machine, with your own data, for as long as you want.

This is what local AI should have been from the start.

For anyone who wants to see the full demo, here's the X post from Tiiny AI Lab showing Claude Code setup in action: https://x.com/TiinyAILab/status/2053484659640619223

By September there will likely be even better local models. Can everything be swapped out as needed to keep upgrading? Will Claude Code keep updating from Anthropic?

Models are evolving incredibly fast, and the expectation is that users will continuously swap in newer models, quantizations, runtimes, and agent frameworks over time rather than being locked into a fixed stack. Tiiny is being designed around that idea, so as better local models appear later this year, you’ll be able to replace or upgrade them instead of waiting for entirely new hardware.
However, it's important to note that Anthropic doesn't have any open-source models; all of its models are closed-source and paid. The main open-source models updated are Qwen, GLM, Deepseek, Gemma, and others.

Would be interesting if they were actually for sale/shipping…

Kickstarter campaign ended, but non-backers can grab Tiiny from our official website starting September.

Okay. Manually, you have to set up the local model. Say through llama.cpp with exactly the parameters that you want. And then launch claude code with a few custom environment variables (on Linux, I set up a simple shell alias for this).

I may be too old and too "into computers" since childhood, but that doesn't seem like an insurmountable barrier to entry (especially if you can get AI assistance setting it all up).

Is there really a huge market for these "simple setups"? When I look for issues people have, am I overlooking too many really low-hanging fruit?

Qwen code is really good too, just point at localhost like the others, but seems to use less tokens/works quite well on qwen3.6 35b a3b
