I'm Harald Nezbeda, a Python developer and technical lead at Anexia, based in Klagenfurt, Austria.

I build open-source tools for developer workflows. Currently working on VibePod, which runs AI coding agents in Docker or Podman containers with traffic logging and local analytics. I also work on VoiceVault (conversation transcription and summaries) and SnyPy (a self-hosted code snippet manager).

Interested in Python, APIs, self-hosting, local LLMs, and understanding what coding agents actually do.

nezhar··on Show HN: Pi pod – Run your pi coding agent in sandboxes on your own server
Hi, creator of VibePod here (https://github.com/VibePod/vibepod-cli)

I spent lots of time on this topic, and had a similar path. Meanwhile the tool also supports a quick way to add custom or local providers to agents: https://vibepod.dev/news/vibepod-cli-0-24/

Nice, would https://vibepod.dev/ also be a fit for the list?

Yeah, same with the latest releases of meta and NVIDIA. It's like everybody is expected to have 32 GB of RAM

It feels so strange that we now have countdowns for model releases
nezhar··on Muse Glimmer: 30B-parameter model optimized for always-on local agent workflows
I tried to run it with lemonade by installing it via hf but did not succeed, it gets some weird 500 errors. I also see that ollama has currently only an mlx version available.

Anybody here succeed to run this on AMD?

nezhar··on Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
Sure, I added an issue for this, so it will follow in one of the next releases
nezhar··on Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
You design the sandbox so the agent starts in that layer. The next thing you can do is to limit the network access, this is what I'm working on right now.

Or do you mean something else?

It's always like this, that's probably why they are pushing new models every few weeks.

Using `/model claude-opus-5[1m]` you can also use the model with older versions of Claude Code

Still looking for this, the OpenKB project look promising.
nezhar··on Anthropic requires 30 day data retention for Fable and Mythos
I agree with the vendor lock-in aspect. My strategy was to utilize multiple agents with different APIs.

you've reached your plan's message limit
nezhar··on Local AI needs to be the norm
For me, building with open weights models sounds like the right approach — you are able to switch providers, and you can control where the server is running.

You don't have any guarantees in terms of data, that's true, you rely on the provider. But this is similar to a database or other services where you don't have the knowledge or resources to run them yourself. Hardware cost is an additional factor here.

If on the other hand your idea works out and the model fits the use case, you can always decide to move to a dedicated infrastructure later.

nezhar··on An AI agent deleted our production database. The agent's confession is below
The same thing can happen in development. Data exfiltration or local file removals are often downplayed; I wonder why nobody talks about the lethal trifecta anymore.

I'm also curious about this one, also I want to compare this to vLLM.
nezhar··on OpenCode – Open source AI coding agent
I created VibePod, which allows you to sandbox the agents in containers and monitor their activities. It also supports OpenCode.
