Key Points

The post is asking for guidance on getting the Claude Code CLI coding agent to work with a local LLM stack using llama.cpp and a Qwen3.6-35B-A3B model.
The author reports that Claude Code worked easily in the past via an automated setup script with a ZLM subscription, but they cannot now figure out the configuration or integration steps.
They are questioning whether they should stay focused on Claude Code or instead try alternative coding agents/services such as pi.dev.
The goal is to find practical help, pointers, or setup guides that explain how to connect a CLI coding agent to local development workflows based on llama.cpp.

Hey all:

I am trying to set up claude code to work with llama.cpp, I am using the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B.

I usually use claude code + ZLM subscription i got lucky with $30 yearly - the set up is very simple with their automated script, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get claude code to work.

Am i hyper focusing on Claude Code or should I try things like pi.dev?

Any help/pointers/guides would be appreciated.
