Best Open Source Offline AI Agent
Thanks for the recommendation, I took a look and maybe you can answer a few questions that I couldn't find a clear answer when doing some quick searching.
Regarding local models, can it use them? I found this discussion:
https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/discussions/775
I didn't appreciate the meow maintainer's attitude converting it into a discussion and ignoring the issue even to this day.
"It does have internal telemetry and such (including updating its list of external models it can use) that can be turned off in the crush.json configuration file."
Is there a page or guide which explains the telemetry and any internet connected settings?
Forgot to add, I use Linux.

Anthropic bans use of API in OpenCode CLI tool
See https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush/pull/1783
I wouldn’t be surprised if Anthropic filed a similar request against OpenCode, and follows it up with a takedown eventually

Claude Code Can Debug Low-Level Cryptography
Aider hurt my head it did not seem... good. Sorry to say.
If you want open source "crush" and want to target something over an API https://github.com/charmbracelet/crush is excellent
But you should try Claude Code or Codex just to understand them. Can always run them in a container or VM if you fear their idiocy (and it's not a bad idea to fear it)
Like I said sibling, it's not the right modality. Others agree. I'm a good typer and good at writing, so it doesn't bug me too much, but it does too much without asking or working through it. Sometimes this is brilliant. Other times it's like.. c'mon guy, what did you do over there? What Balrog have I disturbed?
