Ask Lemmy: What do you currently use for AI coding? (lemmy.world)

Given how quickly things evolve, it's easy to get lost in the numerous offerings and hard to get the best deal. So, what do you use? Both clients/harnesses and LLM providers or local setups would be interesting.

Personally, I've been using opencode with Github copilot for work. I'm currently looking for cost-effective provider for personal work. Maybe openrouter with one of the cheap models?

Claude cli almost exclusively. So far mostly opus, but I need to start using less expensive models more frequently.

I have Codex installed, but I mostly use it to interface with Obsidian, which is where I track all of my tasks and organization stuff. Unfortunately, codex doesn't play cleanly with Claude, so it's hard to use it for coding at all, but I do have it review documentation and identify gaps or discrepancies, because it's far cheaper than having Claude do it.

I've tried lmstudio for local AI with some ~30b models. It works fairly well and fast, but only for tiny context sizes. One I pass a few thousand tokens the speed falls off pretty quickly.
