OP implied they have powerful enough hardware, since Kimi runs on their computer, so that is why they mentioned it is local. That it doesn't work for most people has no relation to what OP of this thread said. Regardless, you don't need an Opus level model, you can use a smaller one that'll just be slower at getting back to you, it's all asynchronous anyway compared to a coding agent where some level of synchronicity is expected.
This thread is about giving one's opinions on their personal experiences with the tool, so the OP of the thread can say whatever they want, it doesn't mean they think it's at all related to the "majority user experience" nor do they have to cater their opinions towards that.
