What tools and projects do you use for your local LLM chats and agents?

I'm trying to sift through the mess of LLM harness and tools to find how to really get the most out of local LLMs.

vLLM to host and openwebui for a frontend that I really only use to demo models to friends.

harness

Opencode running with full access inside a rootless podman container with only the directories I want mounted (usually a single project, sometimes read only).

So far though, I've only used it to document and report on project repos because Qwen is not that good at actually coding (although it can give pretty decent conf file examples, but not always optimal).

Also useful for parsing pita data dump type files that I'm too lazy to construct multiline awk commands for.
