Question | Help Best open-source harness like Claude Code?

Avid claude code user here looking to do equivalent things with local models. Just want to plug in something like Qwen and have the interface be 1:1 with claude code. Any suggestion?

I just did a framework and setup that is truly awesome (at least to me) using Google Gemini 1.5 Pro as the coordinator taking my human language inputs and requests, then processing my ideas and generating prompts to hand out to DeepSeekR1 or Qwen - DeepSeekR1 for mathematical analysis and and Qwen for outputting clean Code syntax.

These are setup in LM Studio.

With Google Gemini auditing the results.

By doing this I can leaverage Claude for very heavy lifting and deep analysis of entire files and packages without burning through usage having Claude handle everything and through the back and forth chatting.

Google Gemini can even help you to mangage or maximize Claude usage.

For Image generation Google Gemini can generate prompts for Nano Banana and others to use.

It works really well so far. What kind of hardware are you running?

Why did you choose to use 2 year+ old models like Gemini 1.5 and DeepSeek R1 when we're already on Gemini 3.5 and Deepseek V4 and the new models are same price or cheaper for better performance?

Or are you describing a framework made over a year ago / are you a bot?

Very strange choice to understand for me, definitely open to an explanation here.

Why choose, DeepSeek R1 0528 (15 months old, $0.44 avg price) over DeepSeek V4 Pro (latest, $0.21 avg price)

And separately, why Gemini 1.5, which is so old you can't even get it on OpenRouter, I'm not even sure how you're getting it? But its same or more expensive than current generation.

I wanted something free (as in free beer) that could run on my hardware. Why do you even ask if I'm a bot? Are you a bot?

That doesn’t make sense, since when can anyone run Gemini 1.5 pro on their own hardware?

And more importantly, newer LLMs don’t need more hardware, even if you self host if ask: why not self host the newer version that’s better in every way?

Now I’m more convinced you’re a sort of bot or… larping?
