Learned a hard lesson
Avid Claude Code user here, spend a lot of time in Opus 4.7 writing code. I was hoping to use my Mac Studio to replace, or at least reduce from Pro Max to a lesser plan with Anthropic. I have a Mac Studio Pro Max M2 with 64G of memory. I couldn't find a model that didn't absolute crap out. I started in Ollama, then read that LM Studio with MLX models were more efficient, they maybe, but that Studio doesn't have the horsepower to drive the work. The models crashed more often than not.
So... I spent a week losing a ton of productivity. Trying to find something that would work.
Am I missing something? Or do I really need more horsepower?
None the less, I am just not able to get anywhere near the level of productivity I have with Claude Code.
I am going to play around with using OpenCode with OpenRouter because I REALLY love opencode. Just not with local LLM's (issue was not Opencode at all obviously)
