About Claude
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, known for careful reasoning, long-document analysis and strong coding help. It powers chat apps, a command-line coding agent, and APIs; free tier available with Pro plans for heavier use.
About Ollama
Ollama makes running large language models locally a one-line affair: pull a model like Llama, Qwen or Mistral and chat with it entirely offline. It exposes a local API that dozens of apps build on, and it's free and open source.
