Any agentic dev software you could recommend that runs well with local models?

I’ve been using Cursor and I’m kind of disappointed. I get better results just going back and forth between the editor and ChatGPT

I tried localforge and aider, but they are kinda slow with local models

I’ve been playing around with Zed, supports local and cloud models, really fast, nice UX. It does lack some of the deeper features of VSCode/Cursor but very capable.

I’m curious to see if this exists on O2 in NZ. I switched to them last week because they do free roaming in Australia, and VoLTE calls.

Vertex by example:

    creds = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
        SA_FILE,
        scopes=[
            "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform",
            "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/generative-language",
        ]
    )


    google.genai.Client(
        vertexai=True,
        project=PROJECT_ID,
        location=LOCATION,
        http_options={"api_version": "v1beta1"},
        credentials=sa_creds,
    )

That `vertexai=True` does the trick - you can use same code without this option, and you will not be using "Vertex".

Also, note, with Vertex, I am providing service account rather than API key, which should improve security and performance.

For me, the main aspect of "using Vertex", as in this example is the fact Start AI Cloud Credit ($350K) are only useable under Vertex. That is, one must use this platform to benefit from this generous credit.

Feels like the "Anthos" days for me, when Google now pushing their Enterprise Grade ML Ops platform, but all in all I am grateful for their generosity and the great Gemini model.

Service account file vs API Key have similar security risks if provided the way you are using them. Google recommends using ADC and it’s actually an org policy recommendation to disable SA files.

What is your preferred way to manage them?

1Password’s CLI op does a reasonably good job of this

You really don’t need this much to build an MCP server in Go. I built one in a single file: https://github.com/Alcova-AI/perplexity-mcp/blob/main/main.g...

It's a good presentation, but it's not sufficient as a sales pitch. A non-staged video of both the grinder and the machine in use would be required to place an order, at least for me. As others have mentioned it's not clear where the water pipes go exactly and how the machine is powered.

Also, for $700 independent reviews are also a must.

For the pump kit - this too looks interesting, but requires (way) more details. At the very least a list of supported machines and, again, a video or two of an actual retrofit. Dimensions, voltage (!), etc.

Get this in the hands of James Hoffman, I’d love to hear his take on it

This happened to me in Bali a few months ago, I ordered a plate of tacos, they came with a side of lime. When I squirted the lime some of it shot out the side and got me right in the forehead. I didn’t think anything of it until it became inflamed and later blistered. I still have a dark patch resembling a drip on my forehead.
