KoboldCpp drives local coding-agent demo
A Reddit demo shows a prototype local AI IDE wired to KoboldCpp and GGUF models, with Qwen3.5-35B-A3B attempting a simple calculator build by reading, planning, and editing project files. It is less a product launch than a useful proof-of-concept for developers exploring fully local coding agents.
// ANALYSIS
The interesting part here is not the calculator demo itself but the design questions it surfaces for local agent tooling: grounding, planning, and safe file edits still matter more than raw model size.
- –Running the stack through KoboldCpp and GGUF models makes the experiment notable for developers who want local-first agents without depending on hosted APIs
- –The post frames the right agent problems: when to inspect the workspace, when to plan, and when to actually mutate files
- –Using Qwen3.5-35B-A3B for a contained coding task is a practical way to test whether local models are good enough for small autonomous edit loops
- –This is best read as an early workflow experiment, not evidence that local coding agents are production-ready yet
