As for oprncode, doesn't the system prompt eat too much of the context? Local models are really constraint in regards contex, and opencode AFAIR uses a 10k of it or some thing close.
Ollama seems fine to me, technically. it works. why wouldn't someone use it? Because someone else doesn't like it? if it cost money, I'd pay more attention to the people behind it, but I don't, so I don't.
I wish people would stop wasting their outrage budget on things like this and pay more attention to politics.
yes, whether for home experiments or at work, it is good practice (good hygiene) to be able to swap out both agentic harnesses and models. It is important to have a good strategy for exporting skills, etc.
