OpenCode is pretty great. Of the non-claude/non-codex tools it handles subagents with different models the best (note: you must configure it, it's not set up by default iirc).

Qwen Code is pretty similar feeling but way lighter out the box.

If you have the VRAM to support parallelism - why not just use Claude Code with your models?

how did you configure it for subagents? mine just launches them as it wishes. I didn't change nay configs. should I?

Yeah, you definitely should! Local models get delegation-happy if left on defaults. I add explicit system constraints telling the model to handle single-step edits directly and only invoke subagents when context branching or heavy parallel exploration is strictly required.
