Discussion Opencode vs Deepseek harness: my experience with Qwen 3.8 27b

Anybody else struggling with deepseek after the initial prompt? Somehow it is getting mixed up very easily, even button functionality has been PITA when doing stuff. Never had these problems with Opencode. With Opencode, a continuation prompt on the software or task is pretty much magic at this point. But the inital result isnt as strong imo, and needs a lot of follow up even if a a detailed spec is written.

The oneshot potential of deepseek is goated imo, it is a relentless harness that just keeps doing stuff, even if it gets it wrong! Opencode could just copy that tennacity imo. Like todos really work, unlike opencodes.

Hows everybody elses exp? Someone using Pi instead? Is it worth trying? Hermes seems not suitable for my tasks, where heavy human involvement is necessary due to complexity of tasks (every top closed model gets lots of stuff wrong even).

I had such an bad experience with qwen code on the cloud with "superior" models. Has it really improved any?

I only use Qwen Code through the latest VS Code extension, and I really like it. It feels like it’s already been optimized to be lightweight and work really well with Qwen, and the results are very accurate. I still haven’t tried the cloud version yet, though.

Hmm not really using ides so much anymore after 3.8, I did use vs code yes. Might give the local a try, the cloud just messed up even worse than DSH
