This is absolutely true. With my constrained Intel Laptop with 16 GB VRAM, I can use both pi.dev and Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B LLM locally without much fuss. The same cannot be said about OC. Because OC loads a lot of skills by default.

Also, I am not in favor of TS for coding harness agents, is it time for a Rust based coding harness agent?

Anyone tried tau-agent? https://github.com/tau-agent/tau
