As far as I understand, the only way to get anything resembling usable output for coding is with massive, expensive, labouriously hand-tuned models, not local ones.
Qwen 3.6 27B dense is really good. Very usable coding output
^^^ This. Tragically, locally run LLMs don’t even hold a candle to “good” cloud-based LLMs like Claude Code.
I see that qwen 3.5 has pretty good performance and can be run on macbook with 64GB ram
Qwen 3.6 is even better
I have played with qwen3-coder:30b for my hobby stuff running on my M5 max MacBook and it does alright. It is fast enough and I used ollama tools to let it request files. I haven’t used anything like Claude code to compare it to though, only a bit of the ChatGPT free tier stuff.
Deepseek is pretty good the few times I tried it.
