/tech/ - Soyence and Technology

I've been using Cursor with Claude Opus 4.5 for a long time vibe coding. And by vibe coding I mean explaining exact logic and architecture to LLM and it writes code for me, so that's why it works great for me o algo. I pay $20-40 for my Cursor subscription and it is great, but I really want to break free from the corporate shackles one day and use it locally. My questions are:
1. What LLM model and hardware do I need to have to be as good as Claude 4.5 Opus with a 200k context window?
2. If it is not going to be as good as Claude 4.5, how good is it going to be and comparable to what and what tasks could I do with it?
I do mostly gamedev btw.

I am also concerned how I became dependent on AI coding in the recent few years, but I also can't go back to normal coding since I feel I will be missing out and slacking, when my competition uses AI a lot.
