Why would somebody ever use a hosted version? I see "One-click gerber, DXF/STEP, render and BOM export" and "Altium support beyond KiCad" in cloud plans, dunno if they are compelling.

Is there any use case/demo of lighter models like using embeddings for full text search, STT, OCR etc?

Good ol days. I bought the book about the project's failure in 2012. They mentioned Python-Wx wrapper they created and I used it for a Python project.

Which language and agent? I used Aider on a Python project which had string references (as opposed to module tree) and cross-repo references. LSP lookups were fast and I hated it when Aider used 2M tokens a day, but grep was more complete.

Any, any. I've got something a bit more cursed and complicated going on. Need to clean it up, just ask your LLM to explain it https://github.com/doublemover/PairOfCleats

Is there a big distinction between "Build from scratch (Claude Code, Codex)" and "Vibe-code (Lovable, v0)", if an agent can set up hosting, database, deploy etc?

None. Vibecoding from scratch.
