Replace cloud AI coding assistants with opencode, a provider-agnostic Node CLI plus Electron desktop app. Points at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, ships in three frontends. Includes the 2026-05-13 correction on the auto-title-generator Mistral BadRequest gotcha and the JSON-config-only setup syntax.
Voxtral 4B advertises voice cloning, accepts ref_audio in the API, then crashes the engine because the encoder weights live only in Mistral's hosted product.
I added a numerical output contract to my Mistral prompt and watched throughput drop in half on the same hardware. Then the naturalize step in the same pipeline run hit 31 tok/s. Live SGLang logs explain why, and what to do about it.
How a three-line Python init order bug masqueraded as a Blackwell GPU hang, and why checking raw logs beat all hardware theories.
