"Back in July, he posted a fairly cryptic statement on X, saying "goose + qwen3-coder = wow". Also: Want local vibe coding? This AI stack replaces Claude Code and Codex - and it's free Since then, interest has grown in both Goose and Qwen3-coder. Goose, developed by Dorsey's company Block, is an open-source agent framework, similar to Claude Code. Qwen3-coder is a coding-centric large language model similar to Sonnet-4.5. Both are free."
"This is the first of three articles that will discuss the integration of Goose (the agent framework), Ollama (an LLM server), and Qwen3-coder (the LLM). In this article, I'll show you how to get everything working. In the next article, I'll give you a more in-depth understanding of the roles each of these three tools plays in the AI agent coding process."
Goose is an open-source agent framework from Block, and Qwen3-coder is a coding-centric large language model similar to Sonnet-4.5. Ollama functions as a local LLM server and hosts the Qwen3-coder model. Combined, Goose, Ollama, and Qwen3-coder can form a free local alternative to Claude Code. Setup requires downloading Goose and Ollama, then installing the Qwen3-coder model within Ollama, and demands a powerful local machine. Early integration tests show promising capabilities for automating coding tasks. Accuracy remains imperfect, and retries or troubleshooting are often necessary during use.
