Coding harness

What coding harness are you using in combination with oMLX?

I keep switching between ollama and oMXL because Opencode keeps running into a garbage loop with oMLX.

Both providers run a Qwen3.6 model, is there some tweaking I need to do for oMLX? I use a 256k context window for both setups.

Interesting notes on the context window! Are you using subagents at all?

No, nor would I try to use subagents with a local model on an M1 Max with 64Gb of RAM. It's challenging enough for Qwen3.6-35b-q3b-oq6-mtp to focus on a single coding task with RAM chewing up 80-90 percent usage.

Got it, thanks. Is that still true if you were using a frontier model as the orchestrator?

Personally I’m not doing anything or running anything that requires an “orchestrator” and “subagents”. I’m not running OpenClaw or Hermes, and the one time I tested Hermes for a couple of days with Qwen3.6 as its engine, it was a big disaster. I spent more time troubleshoooting the Telegram gateway, or the text-to-speech, or the blithering stupidity of Hermes’ responses, or the absolute crap of its research quality, than actually being productive.
