In this video, I show how to integrate Claude Code directly into Visual Studio Code using the official Anthropic plugin — and then take it one step further by connecting a local LLM (like Gemma, Qwen, or DeepSeek) to the same setup. This gives you the best of both worlds: powerful cloud-based AI when you need it, and full independence from the internet or a paid subscription when you don't.
