Planning a Claude Code exit: what local open-source harness feels closest?
MrWeirdoFace · reddit · 2026-09-14
A user who built his workflow around Claude Code over the past year expects a gradual 'cost rug pull' and wants to prepare a local fallback. He stresses he's not chasing local model parity — just seeking a local, open-source, spyware-free harness that feels most like Claude Code out of the box for a vibe-coding-native user. His setup: RTX 3090 (24GB VRAM) plus 64GB DDR4, already running Qwen3 8B Q5 in LM Studio, but with no harness experience. The thread collects recommendations for the path of least resistance before exploring more controllable tools.
