I have been happy with Google's Antigravity harness and Jules so looking forward to playing with this. Thanks for sharing. Simultaneously I am looking to also revisit local offline models.
While I feel like I have a decent understanding of the model landscape I'm feeling a bit lost at which agentic harness to leverage for local models. Hermes, Cline, Aider, Qwen Code, Goose, Pi, OpenCode, something else? I live in the terminal so Desktop UX is a bonus but not a must have.
Can I modify the antigravity settings/program to point to a local model? Where should I spend my energy?
I'm stuck on Windows, so oh-my-pi has been really nice. The others I've tried such as kilo do alright but tool calling can mess up a bit.
Only complaint is that connecting the agent harness to my local model took more work getting configured right than I'd like, but that's been true of most harnesses I've tried as well. Most assume you're using a cloud model and local model configuration is a bit of an afterthought.
Everything you want to add can be made as an extension, and pi has many ready extension to be added. For example, Sandbox: `<a href="https://github.com/earendil-works/gondolin" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/earendil-works/gondolin`
The sandbox extension is at
<a href="https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/tree/main/packages/coding-agent/examples/extensions/gondolin" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/tree/main/packages/codi...
And the extension at
`<a href="https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/tree/main/packages/coding-agent/examples/extensions/gondolin" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/tree/main/packages/codi...`
Which can also be found under
`/@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent/examples/extensions/gondolin` at the npm modules
In case of omp, not sure if it's already at the node module package but you can just grab it from the links I shared and set it up.
I tried many of these pi extensions but they have tons of paper cuts. Don't remember which one had which issue but here are some I ran into:
* commands run by me (! prefix) are also sandbox blocked
* agent has no way to _request_ unsandboxed execution (e.g. if `kubectl whatever` is rejected by the sandbox, the model should have the chance to request permission)
* does not understand shell composition patterns (e.g. if `git status` is allowed and `git log` is allowed, then `git status && git log` should be allowed automatically)
* sandbox only supported on mac or linux. not both
All of that can be fixed by yourself. That's certainly the spirit of pi. But if you want strong defaults and batteries included (like omp promises) then that's just annoying.
