A practical walkthrough of Munder Difflin v0.3.3's built-in Monaco IDE: the title-bar IDE button, the git CHANGES rail with side-by-side diffs vs HEAD, the file tree, tabs, Cmd/Ctrl+S save — and the agent review workflow it enables.
Orca is a YC-backed Agent IDE for driving coding agents side by side in isolated worktrees. Munder Difflin is an agent office that runs itself. An honest comparison of the two — and when each one is the right pick.
A practical guide to mixing agent engines on one Munder Difflin floor: Claude Code as orchestrator, Codex for coding bursts, Copilot for dispatched tasks, and OpenCode/Crush/pi.dev for BYOK keys and local models.
A minute-by-minute walkthrough of your first hour with Munder Difflin: install, the onboarding wizard, your first brief to Michael, watching the floor, approving your first escalation, and leaving a schedule running.
A step-by-step guide to running a whole Munder Difflin hive offline on an Apple Silicon Mac Mini — how to size models to your unified memory, install Ollama or LM Studio, and wire OpenCode and Crush to a local endpoint.
Munder Difflin v0.3.1 runs your agent floor on open-weight models — gpt-oss, Qwen3, DeepSeek, Llama, Mistral, GLM, Kimi — either fully local (Ollama/LM Studio/vLLM) or through a third-party OSS provider. Here's how to wire each across the OpenCode, Crush, and pi engines.
CLI agents are powerful because they have terminal-level access: they run builds, tests, and git, and verify their own work by executing it. Here's why that matters — and the concrete ways Munder Difflin cuts token consumption while doing it.
From June 15, 2026 the Claude Agent SDK gets a separate credit. Munder Difflin drives the native Claude Code CLI, so your hive runs on your plan as before.
A fair comparison of Cline and Munder Difflin — an in-editor BYOK coding agent vs a local multi-agent orchestration hive — and when to pick which.
How local-first AI agent orchestration works under the hood — the loop, mailboxes, scheduler, and audit log that coordinate a hive on one machine.
Local-first agent hives vs the 2026 cloud agent SDK wave (OpenAI, Google ADK, Microsoft, MCP/A2A): what each optimizes for, and when to pick which.
Agents touch your code, keys, and memory. That's why agent tooling should be open source and local-first — so you can verify it, not just trust it.
The control, privacy, and cost case for keeping your AI agents and their memory on your own machine — and what cloud orchestration quietly costs.
