 ## Local AI (Ollama)
 
-Ollama runs locally with GPU acceleration for tasks that don't need Claude-level reasoning.
+Ollama runs on Mike's workstation (DESKTOP-0O8A1RL) with GPU acceleration. Available to all team members via Tailscale.

+### How to connect
+
+**On Mike's workstation (local):**
 ```bash
-# Simple prompt
 curl -s http://localhost:11434/api/generate -d '{"model":"qwen3:14b","prompt":"...","stream":false}' | jq -r '.response'
 ```
 
+**On any other machine via Tailscale:**
+```bash
+curl -s http://100.92.127.64:11434/api/generate -d '{"model":"qwen3:14b","prompt":"...","stream":false}' | jq -r '.response'
+```
+
+### Per-machine setup
+
+Read `.claude/identity.json` to determine which machine you're on:
+- **DESKTOP-0O8A1RL** (Mike's workstation): Ollama runs locally. Use `localhost:11434`.
+- **Any other machine** (Howard's laptop, other workstations): Ollama is remote via Tailscale. Use `100.92.127.64:11434`. Requires Tailscale to be connected.
+
+**To check if Ollama is reachable:**
+```bash
+curl -s http://100.92.127.64:11434/api/tags | python -c "import sys,json; [print(m['name']) for m in json.load(sys.stdin).get('models',[])]"
+```
+
+If it fails: verify Tailscale is connected (`tailscale status`), and that Mike's workstation is online.
+
+### Access control
+
+- Firewall rule on Mike's workstation allows port 11434 ONLY from Tailscale subnet (100.0.0.0/8)
+- NOT exposed to LAN, VPN, or internet
+- Binding: `OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0:11434` (all interfaces, firewall restricts)
+
 **Review policy:** Always review Critical/High impact Ollama outputs (auth, security, migrations, production). Trust Low impact (classification, formatting). Flag uncertainty to user.
