Thanks! If you want to kick the tires, `npx cloclo` gets you started — works with Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, or local models via Ollama/LM Studio out of the box. Curious what you'd want to use it for?


Local models are finally starting to feel pleasant instead of just "possible." The headless LM Studio flow is especially nice because it makes local inference usable from real tools instead of as a demo.

Related note from someone building in this space: I've been working on cloclo (https://www.npmjs.com/package/cloclo), an open-source coding agent CLI, and this is exactly the direction I'm excited about. It natively supports LM Studio, Ollama, vLLM, Jan, and llama.cpp as providers alongside cloud models, so you can swap between local and hosted backends without changing how you work.

Feels like we're getting closer to a good default setup where local models are private/cheap enough to use daily, and cloud models are still there when you need the extra capability.


How does cloclo differ from pi-mono?


pi-mono is a great toolkit — coding agent CLI, unified LLM API, web UI, Slack bot, vLLM pods.

cloclo is a runtime for agent toolkits. You plug it into your own agents and it gives them multi-agent orchestration (AICL protocol), 13 providers, skill registry, native browser/docs/phone tools, memory, and an NDJSON bridge. Zero native deps.


Went through the bundle.js. Found 187 spinner verbs. "Combobulating", "Discombobulating", and "Recombobulating". The full lifecycle is covered. Also "Flibbertigibbeting" and "Clauding". Someone had fun.


Let's hope they left the having-fun part for a human to do.


Tell your friend to DM me. If he actually got banned using OpenCode, I'll cover his Claude Max subscription for a year through Cloclo.


Yes you can use the API and also make it agnostic to use OpenAI or local LLM/VLM
