Captain ClawAI tool

The project documents an Ollama lane for local model use; desktop hardware and model downloads remain the user’s responsibility.

Free local application · model/hardware costs separate

Captain Claw is MIT-licensed. Local Ollama inference avoids a per-request provider API bill when a compatible model is selected. Optional hosted models, connectors, and any external services have separate terms and charges. No weights are bundled. The official Ollama qwen2.5-coder:7b listing states Apache-2.0 and 4.7GB; verify compatibility and model licensing separately. Local hardware, storage, download, and electricity still have costs. Optional remote inference can be billed.
