Ollama Launches Gemma 4 12B with Full Support for Claude Code, Codex, and Other Multi-Agent Tools
Ollama announced that the Gemma 4 12B model has been updated and is now available on all platforms, allowing users to run it locally via ollama run gemma4:12b.
The model has been integrated into mainstream AI development and agent platforms such as Claude Code, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Codex, and Codex App, enabling developers to efficiently call Google DeepMind's latest open-source models locally.

Ollama, as a local large model runtime framework, has quickly adapted after the release of the Google Gemma series multiple times. This update continues its close ecological cooperation with DeepMind by integrating mainstream AI coding tools with one click, significantly reducing developers' reliance on cloud APIs.
In terms of capital pathways, Ollama is expanding the adoption rate of the Gemma series through localized deployment, with funding concentrating on open-source, controllable, and locally prioritized AI infrastructure. This allows developers to build agent workflows in privacy-sensitive or offline scenarios, while Google leverages Ollama to expand model distribution and actual usage scale.
This development is similar to Ollama's previous rapid support for the Llama series. The open-source AI ecosystem is currently accelerating its transition from cloud centralization to local + hybrid deployment.
Essentially, this is a technological substitution: local runtime frameworks are bringing cutting-edge open-source model capabilities down to personal devices. By seamlessly integrating tools like Claude Code and Codex, it significantly lowers the migration costs for developers, shifting pricing power from centralized cloud APIs to open-source local platforms and high-quality foundational models.

Local is true freedom; no matter how strong the cloud is, it cannot compare to the models on your own hard drive.
Integration speed determines adoption speed; bridges like Ollama are more valuable than the models themselves.
The better the open-source models, the more appealing local tools become; developer sovereignty starts with the ability to run the latest models themselves.
