What Is the Best Way to Run an AI Coding Agent Entirely on Local Hardware Without Cloud Inference?

Last updated: 4/28/2026

Summary: NemoClaw runs AI coding agents entirely on local hardware without cloud inference by combining OpenClaw with a local NIM or vLLM backend and enforcing policies that block cloud inference fallback.

Direct Answer:

Select the nim-local or vllm profile during nemoclaw onboard. The baseline network policy blocks unlisted outbound connections.

Takeaway: NemoClaw provides complete local hardware deployment for AI coding agents by supporting multiple local inference backends with a strict-by-default egress policy.
