GLM-4.7-Flash sparks coding prompt tips

A LocalLLaMA user asks what system prompts and settings make local models work well for coding, calling out GLM-4.7-Flash, Z.ai's open-source 30B-A3B MoE model, as a top pick. The thread is really a practical setup swap for anyone trying to turn a fast local model into a reliable coding assistant.

// ANALYSIS

Hot take: local coding is a workflow problem first, a model problem second.

–Z.ai positions GLM-4.7-Flash for lightweight deployment and says it works locally with vLLM and SGLang, which explains why it keeps popping up in coder discussions.
–The thread quickly shifts into prompt tinkering and alternate-model suggestions, which is classic LocalLLaMA behavior and a sign the market is still unsettled.
–The best gains usually come from a repeatable system prompt, a small eval set, and clear task boundaries rather than chasing every new checkpoint.
–Inference stack, hardware, and quantization can change the feel of the same weights dramatically, so "best model" often really means "best fit for your setup."

Anthropic launches Claude Fable 5

Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5, its most powerful public model designed specifically for complex, long-running agentic tasks. The model features built-in safety classifiers that automatically reroute sensitive requests in cybersecurity, biology, or chemistry to Claude Opus 4.8.

Developer Av1dlive releases Agentic Stack, an open-source portable memory and loop-based workflow framework that replicates the autonomous setup used by the creator of Claude Code.

Agentic Stack is an open-source framework designed to provide a portable memory-and-skills layer for AI coding agents. Inspired by Boris Cherny's (creator of Claude Code) philosophy of shifting from prompt engineering to 'loop engineering,' Agentic Stack establishes a local `.agent/` directory that stores agent context, skills, and protocols. This allows developers to maintain consistent agent behaviors, shared memory, and automatic learning patterns across multiple developer platforms—such as Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and custom DIY Python loops—without suffering from 'tool amnesia' when switching environments.
