Open R1: How to use OlympicCoder locally for coding
The post explains how to run OlympicCoder-7B locally using LM Studio and a VS Code extension. It walks through installing LM Studio, loading OlympicCoder-7B (4-bit GGUF), and wiring LM Studio to VS Code with Continue.dev, enabling code completion, generation, explanation, and tests. OlympicCoder is open-source and optimized on the CodeForces-CoTs dataset, not a Claude-like assistant.
