This replaced Aider for me a couple months back.
I use it with Qwen 3.5 running locally when my daily limits run out on my other subscriptions.
The harness is great. Local models are just slow enough that the subscription models are easier to use. For most of my tasks these days, the model's capability is sufficient; it is just not as snappy.
- cyanydeez 7mo agoI'm curious: I'venever touched cloud models beyond a few seconds. I run a AMD395+ with the new qwen coder. Is there any intelligence difference, or is it just speed and context? At 128GB, it takes quite awhile before getting context wall.
- __mharrison__ 7mo agoThere's a difference in intelligence. However for 90% of what I'm doing I don't really need it. The online models are just faster. I just did a one hour vibe session today, ripping out a library dependency and replacing it with another and pushing the library to pypi. I should take my task list and let the local model replicate the work and see how it works out.
- psibi 7mo agoOne thing I like with Aider is the fact that I can control the context by using /add explicitly on a subset of files. Can you achieve the same wit OpenCode ?
- __mharrison__ 7mo agoI feel like I haven't really needed to manage context with newer models. Rarely I will restart the session to clear out out.
- esafak 7mo agoYes, using at @ sign; CC and Codex use this too.
- plipt 7mo agoCould you say more about the differences between Aider and OpenCode? I briefly dabbled with Aider some months back but never got any real work done with it. Without installing each one of these new tools I'm having trouble grokking what is changing about them that moves the LLM-assisted software dev experience forward.
