- Project mention: Is there an IDE that can use the local open-source model? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-10-26
I've been looking for this too. It seems to me as though all the ide's are trying to sell the llms as a service or trying to lock you in by downloading llms through their ide. I have been downloading llm's from huggingface as gguf files and would like to use those downloads (and running them through https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui). It is possible to run those llms as a local api using something like llama-cpp-python and would prefer to use something like that method. Zed (https://zed.dev/), which is now available on windows might be able to do it, but i'd rather use something (foss) that doesn't have a pricing model (the development focus will always be upon those who pay). tbh i'm getting a bit sick of changing ide's, as their support changes, and really would prefer not to use (microsoft) visual studio code which seems to be cornering the market. Starting to think i'm going to try to learn emacs, with https://github.com/karthink/gptel looking as if it would meet my needs.

chatgpt-shell
A multi-llm Emacs shell (ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Gemini, Kagi, Ollama, Perplexity) + editing integrations
> I chose to make using AI a manual action
I also find explicit/concious LLM interaction a happy medium.
Building tooling into my editor to expedite this concious usage made it much more enjoyable when I didn't have to context-switch into another app (ie. take my current text selection, or error under cursor, etc) https://github.com/xenodium/chatgpt-shell?tab=readme-ov-file...

If you ever happen to go back, https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/ has a couple different options for supported structures. I use it for https://dylanfitzgerald.net without much issue.

Personally, and contrary to the article, I do prefer Emacs's plain text widgets over more "GUI-like" ones. Plain text widgets minimize the differences between TUI and GUI Emacs and also inherently offer text selection, searching, copying, and pasting, which nicely integrates with Emacs. I mean, not many GUI frameworks let you place a cursor within a button and select its text, do they? I believe this is a unique advantage of text-based widgets: while other GUI applications require a dedicated mechanism for searching through their settings, text-based widgets allow you to use any text-searching packages to perform these actions.
Reading through the article, the author seems to be hoping for a pure GUI approach with Emacs-like navigation mechanisms, but I am not convinced that this can be as flexible as text-based widgets. However, for packages used exclusively within a GUI environment (like el-easydraw [1], which relies quite heavily on SVG-based widgets), it would be nice to have a dedicated GUI widget library.
(There was a discussion on Reddit about this a week ago [2], and I saw some comments defending GTK and PGTK that might be worth reading.)
