This terminology is still very much undefined though, so my version may not be the winning definition.
I'm aligning on Agent for the combination of harness + model + context history (so after you fork an agent you now have two distinct agents)
And orchestrator means the system to run multiple agents together.
It's really easy to setup with any OpenAI compatible API and I self host Qwen Coder 3 Next on my personal MBP using LM Studio and just dial in from my work laptop with Zed and tailscale so i can connect from wherever i might be. It's able to do all sorts of things like run linting checks and tests and look for issues and refactor code and create files and things like this. I'm definitely still learning, but it's a pretty exciting jump from just talking to a chat bot and copying and pasting things manually.
