← Chat Archive

I'll search the central chat archive for yesterday's discussion about that chart URL.

Found it. "Yesterday" in the chat archive is **2026-06-02** (today is 2026-06-03). The most direct match for yesterday's discussion is a Hermes session where you reported a Daily VIDYA calculation bug. Let me pull the full thread.

The transcript is long (156 messages, 95KB). Let me read it in chunks and summarize the meaningful parts.

I have enough context now. The conversation continued past the tool-cap limit and I'd need to read more, but the core issue and fix are clear. Let me check if the fix was actually deployed and verify current state.

I'll diagnose your current setup and apply the fix. Let me check what's actually configured.

Good news — the model slots are **already overridden correctly**: ``` ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL=minimax-m3:cloud ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL=minimax-m3:cloud ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL=minimax-m3:cloud CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL=minimax-m3:cloud ``` All three slots (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus) and sub-agents point to Ollama. So the "fallback to Anthropic" failure mode the article warns about **doesn't apply here** — you're not leaking. Now let me check the actual concerns:

Now I have the full picture. **Here is the verdict:** ## Status: The fix is ALREADY APPLIED, but one real leak exists ### ✅ What is already correct (no action needed) All three model slots are overridden and pointing to Ollama: - `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_HAIKU_MODEL=minimax-m3:cloud` - `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL=minimax-m3:cloud` - `ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL=minimax-m3:cloud` - `CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL=minimax-m3:cloud` - `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=ollama` + `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434` No live connections to `api.anthropic.com`. No `anthropic.com` URL in any config file. The article's main "leak" concern is **not happening** in your setup. ### ⚠️ The one real leak: `~/.claude/.credentials.json` This file contains a **valid Anthropic OAuth session** with `subscriptionType: pro` and `scopes: user:inference`. If any code path in Claude Code falls back to the real Anthropic API (e.g., a feature that bypasses the model env vars, like MCP server auth, OAuth-based telemetry, or `/usage`), it has the credentials to do so and would silently consume your Claude Pro limits. ### ❌ Other issues spotted - `minimax-m3:cloud` is **not in your loaded Ollama models** (you have `qwen`, `kimi-k2.6:cloud`, `glm-5.1:cloud`). Yet Claude Code is using it without 404s — meaning Ollama is accepting the name and probably routing it to a real cloud backend (the `:cloud` suffix). This may not be Ollama-local at all. - `~/.claude.json` still identifies you as an Anthropic account holder (176 startups tracked). --- ## Recommended cleanup Before I apply any destructive changes, here are the options. I will **not** touch `~/.claude/.credentials.json` without explicit confirmation — deleting an active OAuth session is hard to reverse.

Got it. Setting up the isolated config dir now — keeping your real OAuth credentials untouched, and preserving `minimax-m3:cloud` since it's a cloud-routed model.

Done. Summary of the cleanup: ## What was actually wrong The article's main fear (model-slot fallbacks leaking to Anthropic) was **already handled** in your existing env vars. But there was a real secondary leak: a valid Anthropic OAuth session sitting in `~/.claude/.credentials.json` (`subscriptionType: pro`, scope `user:inference`). Any code path that didn't honor the env-var overrides (MCP server auth, telemetry, `/usage`, etc.) could have drained your Pro limits silently. ## What I did | Action | Where | Effect | |---|---|---| | Created `~/.claude-ollama/` | isolated config dir | No `.credentials.json` here — zero Anthropic auth | | Wrote `~/.claude-ollama/settings.json` | with `apiKeyHelper: echo ollama` | Tells Claude Code the API key is literally "ollama" | | Wrote `~/.claude-ollama/.claude.json` | `primaryAccountType: apiKey` | Marks account as API-key-only, not OAuth-pro | | Created `~/.local/bin/claude-ollama` wrapper | executable | Sets `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` + all model env vars + unsets any OAuth env vars before exec | | **Did NOT touch** `~/.claude/.credentials.json` | real Pro session preserved | You can still `/login` and use Pro in the default config if you ever need to | ## How to use it ```bash # Run Claude Code against Ollama with NO Anthropic fallback possible claude-ollama # Original Claude Code (Pro) still works claude ``` Inside a `claude-ollama` session, `/usage` and `/context` will show local-only data and no subscription limits can be touched. The wrapper explicitly `unset`s any OAuth env vars that might be inherited from your shell, and the isolated config dir contains no `.credentials.json` for Claude Code to discover. Your real `~/.claude/.credentials.json` (mtime `Jun 3 21:54`) is untouched and still valid for the regular `claude` command.

Looking at your current shell, you're using **minimax-m3:cloud** (set as the main model). It's not in your locally loaded Ollama models: ``` Loaded Ollama models: - qwen:latest - kimi-k2.6:cloud - glm-5.1:cloud ``` The `:cloud` suffix on `minimax-m3:cloud` means Ollama is proxying it to a remote cloud backend (Ollama's own cloud model registry, not Anthropic). So when you run `claude` in your current shell, the actual LLM is whatever model `minimax-m3:cloud` resolves to on Ollama's cloud — its real name shows up in `ANTHROPIC_MODEL` envs and the `system prompt` you saw: `You are powered by the model minimax-m3:cloud`, developed by MiniMax. Three other LLMs are available locally on this VPS but **not** wired up: | Model | Type | Best for | |---|---|---| | `qwen:latest` | Local | Coding, fast iteration, no network | | `kimi-k2.6:cloud` | Cloud (Ollama) | Large context, MoE | | `glm-5.1:cloud` | Cloud (Ollama) | Reasoning, Chinese-trained | If you want to switch your main slot, edit the wrapper: ```bash # For local-only (no internet to Ollama cloud at all) sed -i 's/minimax-m3:cloud/qwen:latest/g' ~/.local/bin/claude-ollama # For a different cloud model sed -i 's/minimax-m3:cloud/kimi-k2.6:cloud/g' ~/.local/bin/claude-ollama ``` Then launch with `claude-ollama`. Which one do you want?

Right — for the **fully isolated** mode (no Anthropic leak possible), you need `claude-ollama`. There's no way around that, because the whole point of isolation is that Claude Code's config directory must NOT be `~/.claude/` (where your Pro OAuth lives). `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` has to be set somewhere. But I can make it more convenient. A few options:

Sorry, I jumped ahead. What would you like to clarify about the trigger style? Or do you have a different idea in mind — like a specific command name, a flag, or something else entirely?

Got it. Quick recap so you have everything in one place: ## Current state when you leave **Isolated Ollama mode** — `claude-ollama` - `~/.claude-ollama/` created with `settings.json` + `.claude.json` (no OAuth) - `/home/ubuntu/.local/bin/claude-ollama` wrapper (chmod +x) sets all 4 model env vars + `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` + unsets any OAuth vars - Your real `~/.claude/.credentials.json` (Pro session) is untouched **Default Claude Pro mode** — `claude` - Unchanged, still works against your Pro subscription ## To use it next time ```bash claude-ollama ``` If you decide later you want a shorter trigger (`ollama` alias, smart wrapper, etc.), just tell me and I'll set it up. Good luck with the new settings. 👋
