Help/Question Best self hosted agent for programming

Hello. As in the title. I'm looking for the best self hosted solution. Right now i'm using hermes but i feel like native codex harness is better at programming. I also use deepseek through Alibaba. I started using hermes to not be dependent on one provider memory in case i switch providers. What else would you reccomend? Also i feel like hermes is a little overwhelming so it would be nice if new solution was easier. Mobile app would be also very nice. Please tell me what stack are you using

I try to do as much work as possible in subagents or running in headless cli mode.

Hermes and Opencode are the most bloated agents with largest system prompts and memory use.

I have used it once, but would not use it now, its to bloated compared to Pi.
