The original title is: "Run OpenCode locally with QVAC: a coding agent with no cloud"

Short summary

A tutorial for running OpenCode, an open-source coding agent, entirely locally using QVAC — an open-source SDK from Tether that provides an OpenAI-compatible server across NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, and Apple Silicon backends. The setup keeps all code on-device, works offline, and eliminates per-token costs. The author demonstrates three tasks (building from a prompt, explaining a repo, fixing a bug) all running locally with Qwen3.6-35B-A3B.

• •OpenCode pairs with QVAC to run a coding agent fully locally, no cloud required
• •QVAC exposes an OpenAI-compatible API, compatible with Cline, Aider, Continue, and Roo
• •Local execution keeps code private, works offline, and eliminates per-token billing
