Are you using open models on a regular basis? If yes, I’d love to hear about it! - what’s your use-case? - local or through an inference provider? - how has the experience evolved over time? - anything you miss from the closed models, if you’ve used them? Would appreciate reposts for visibility 🙏

I’ve been using Kimi 2.5 via the OpenCode free preview, it’s not the smartest thing at solving problems, but it does a good job for planning & drafting docs that other models can then pick up on. Briefly tried Qwen 3 coder via ollama locally, but it’s slow and often fails at tool calls.
