Fast prompt processing + short thinking traces + can actually handle agentic behaviour = Opencode is actually usable from my laptop! -- Previously I've been running LLMs off my M1 Max 64gb. And whilst it's been good enough for tinkering and toy use cases, it's never really been great for running anything that requires longer context... i.e. it could be useful as a simple chatbot but not much else. Making a single Snake game in Python was fine, but anything where I might want to do agentic coding / contribute to a larger codebase has always been a bit janky. And unless I ar
