Which local model would you recommend that comes close to cursor in response quality? I have tried deepseek, mistral, and few others. None comes close to quality of cursor. I keep coming back to it.

  A $10k backup plan? That makes sense. No wonder you used a throwaway.

      The hardware isn't free. Someone asks a question and your answer is who cares about $10k of hardware hanging around as a subpar backup?

        See, the thing is, I never wanted to comment on the cost or feasibility of the hardware at all. What I was commenting was that any backup plan is expected to be subpar by very nature, and if not, shouldnbe instantly promoted. If you'll notice that was 100% of what I said. I was adding to the pile of "this plan is stupid". Cursor has an actual value proposition. Of course then you disrespected me with a rude ad hominem and got a rude response back. Ignoring the point and attacking the persin is a concession. M For the record, I and many others use throwaways wvery single thread. This isn't and shouldn't be reddit.

        You're right, I shouldn't have said the throwaway bit, sorry. However, you're ignoring the context of the conversation, which is a $10k piece of hardware. I don't know what you expected to add to the conversation by saying "who cares?" when someone asks for advice, in context or even in isolation.

        wrong. where the user is asking for recommended models (for offline use), they’re not saying “yes in fact I will burn $10000 on a computer”, not at all lol

Possibly useful comment on local models, perhaps also fitting on machines with less ram: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43340989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43340989
