I've been lurking in this sub for a while, wanting to break my dependence on online services, plus slowly backlogging tasks I want/need to run locally rather than use online models. Usually these tasks break down to either privacy related issues or just massive token count that would blow my online budget. I've been experimenting with Qwen 3.8 27B in LM Studio for a while, but when it comes to things like coding, code review, PDF editing, etc. obviously LM Studio isn't a harness like Claude Code where I can just say "Take these 4 files and run with it". Some of the things I'm trying to accomplish (some as actual tasks, others as a learning sandbox): - Analyze this entire codebase to come up with efficiency/security recommendations (agent spawning, file reading) - Caption this dataset of 10,000 images (image reading) - Interface with this ComfyUI instance to iterate and refine prompts (terminal use, wait for result, image reading) - Edit a PDF file (PDF read, PDF write) - Online research (web access) My day job is AI image/video work, so I have multiple RTX Pro 6000's to work with already. Based on my research so far, it seems like three options would accomplish this when pointed to a local model endpoint. - Opencode - Codex - Claude Code What about Openhands? Pi? What's your harness of choice? Do the OpenAI/Anthropic harnesses still require login/online connection when running from a local endpoint?   submitted by   /u/Generic_Name_Here [link]   [comments]
