Local coding setup demand includes Hermes-style agent tools

A research coding setup that has used Claude for two years now needs a because of and confidentiality. The work includes serious software development and algorithm design, not just simple code snippets.

The model options under consideration include GLM-5.2, Kimi K-2.6, and Mimo. The tool question is which coding harness works well, with opencode, PI, hermes, and Claude Code listed as possible choices.

The available hardware is very strong: four Nvidia Pro 6000 Blackwell server cards and eight H100 cards. The goal is for a team to use an internal coding assistant without sending private work to GPT or Claude.

Key points

  • The main need is keeping confidential code inside a local setup.
  • The work involves serious coding and algorithm design.
  • GLM-5.2, Kimi K-2.6, and Mimo are named as possible .
  • opencode, PI, hermes, and Claude Code are named as possible tools.
  • The hardware listed is four Nvidia Pro 6000 Blackwell server cards and eight H100 cards.
