Scientific Agents on Neurodesk

Opencode

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

start OpenCode on a terminal with opencode. Our Opencode wrapper script will walk you through setting it up depending on which models are available to you.

You can also configure your own model provider:

ctrl+p
and select switch model
then ctrl+a to connect a different provider

Self-host a model in Ollama

You can also self-host a model in Ollama on your computer (recommended hardware: Apple Silicon with at least 64GB RAM). For this install Ollama on your system and start the neurodesktop container with these additional docker parameters (the neurodesk app does this automatically):

Codex

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Start codex on a terminal with codex then authenticate with your OpenAI account. You need to use the Device Code option:

Then give it a task.

Claude Claude

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

start claude on a terminal and authenticate with an Anthropic subscription.

Note: claude outputs a long URL on the terminal and the jupyterhub terminal unfortunatley adds linebreaks in the URL which render it invalid. To fix this, copy the authentication URL into an editor and manually remove the linebreaks before pasting it into a browser.

accept that you trust the folder:

Then give it a task and approve the permission requests while it works away:

Notebook Intelligence

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Start Notebook Intelligence from the side panel:

Then connect Github Copilot (or Change the model provider)

Switch to agent, select all tools (via the settings button next to the Agent Selector) and give it a task:

You can also ask it to fill in code in specific cells:

For a more capable model you can also switch to Claude in the settings:

You can also self-host a model in Ollama on your computer. For this install Ollama on your system and start the neurodesktop container with these additional docker parameters:
