I decided to try Qwen3.5 122B in LM Studio with Opencode and I am impressed. It's not super slow (M4 Max/128GB) and it's pretty close to how Claude Code feels. Getting pretty good code analysis, definitely feels Sonnet-esque. I'm hyped completely local alternatives are getting so good.
It’s tragic but I have the “verified” setting turned on my public server because it’s literally impossible to stop a determined spammer with the tools Discord has. They can make new accounts faster than you can ban them, and there’s no like “IP ban” equivalent
It’s funny because at work we have paid Codex and Claude but I rarely find a use for it, yet I pay for the $200 Max plan for personal stuff and will use it for hours!
So I’m not even in the “it’s useless” camp, but it’s frankly only situationally useful outside of new greenfield stuff. Maybe that is the problem?
I don't agree this is an issue and I'll tell you why: Homebrew isn't responsible for keeping the system functional like apt or pacman, it's a supplemental thing. I've also found it's useful in this capacity on Linux specifically with LTS distros, I can get the latest fzf or zoxide or whatever without having to add some shady repo.
This is how I see/use brew as well, and being able to just blow the directory away anytime and start over if need be is nice.
It's not a "system" package manager, nor was it ever meant to be. Its supplemental. I've also found it valuable on the various immutable linux distros.
Is there an iOS/Android app that supports the LM Studio API(s) endpoints? That seems to be the "missing" client, especially now with llmster (tbh I haven't looked very hard)
Maybe they wanted to live together to save money (remember, the rest of their family isn't in the US), but that is irrelevant to the fact that they were paid way less than half the going rate in that city (I remember his stated salary being a little over $30k, so I errored on the high side). We were pretty close and when he told me the story, there wasn't any reason for him to lie. Who am I to say his experience isn't real?
If you read this person's comments, looks like they are just making up crap. Apparently this one person has met or interviewed all the Indian H1Bs in the US.
