Hello everyone,

I'm trying to setup a local "vibe coding" environment and use it on some projects I abandoned years ago. So far I'm using KoboldCPP to run the models, VSStudio as editor with various extensions and models with limited to no luck.

Models are working properly (tested with KoboldCPP web UI and curl) but in VSCode they do not generate files. edit existing files etc. (it seems that the tool calling part is not working) and they usually go in a loop

I tried the following extensions:

  • RooCode
  • Cline

Models: (mostly from Unsloth)

  • Deepseek-coder:6.7
  • Phi4
  • Qwen3-Coder 30
  • Granite4 Small

Does anyone have any idea why it's not working or have a working setup that can share? (I'm open to change any of the tools/models)

I have 16GB of RAM and 8GB of VRAM as a reference

Many thanks in advance for your help!

I don't have direct experience with RooCode and Cline, but I would be mighty surprised if they work with lesser models of even the old Qwen2-Coder 32B - and even that was mostly misses. I never tried the Qwen3 coder but I assume it is not drastically different.

Those small models are at most useful for some kind of smarter autocomplete, not to run a full tools framework.

BTW you could check out Aider too for a different approach, and they have a lot of benchmarks that can help you get an idea about what's needed.

Thanks a MILLION and more!

Aider is working like a charm with even smaller models, fantastic, thanks a lot! Very practical once you get the ropes of it.

I wish I could upvote this reply more :D

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.
