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!
Ive used roocode on vscodium with kobold. The problem is most small local models dont have ingrained ability to use Cline tools correctly. You should do some looking around for models that specifically advertise cline tool calling like this one https://ollama.com/acidtib/qwen2.5-coder-cline:7b
When connecting to vscode and roo Cline make sure to use full IP address and ports, also you can put in random string for api key. Make sure its connected through openai compatable api
