Thanks for your interest in aider.

Yes, absolutely you can work with local models. Here are the docs for working with lmstudio and ollama:

Yes absolutely

In the left bar there's a "connecting to LLMs" section

Check out ollama as an example

Yes and is easy

yeah:

    aider --model ollama_chat/deepseek-r1:32b

(or whatever)

This didn't work well for me, no changes are ever made but maybe it's because I'm just using the 14B model.

In case you are on a 32+GB Mac, you could try deepseek-r1-distill-qwen-32b-mlx in LM Studio. It’s just barely usable speed-wise, but gives useful results most of the time.
