> Each time I call the LLM api the fan starts to work and make big noise

So every time you do HTTP calls? Nothing there should spin up your fans, unless you use an agent with an horribly broken TUI, I've heard there is a few of those out there. But remotely calling LLM APIs really shouldn't be taxing on your local device, something somewhere is wrong/bad if that's what you're seeing.

If the horribly broken TUI you mentioned is OpenCode, I’d say yes. That’s exactly what I am experiencing.

Sure, if that's what you're using, then that's definitively buggy, unless it's doing compilation or something actually using your resources, just making HTTP calls shouldn't be heavy for your computer. Claude Code was mainly what I was thinking about, as it similarly broken, but I'm sure there are more out there as most of them seem vibe-coded at best.

Yes. Whatever *code, the same when they are working. The node.js backend is awful.

Is it a local LLM? Sibling seems to be assuming remote, but I have trouble imagining a TUI that inefficient.
reply
No. Simply the rest api call in opencode tui. I don’t know why maybe the mbp is too old, at least it served 6 years +.
