I use qwen3:30b-a3b-q4_K_M for coding support and spam filtering, qwen2.5vl:32b-q4_K_M for image recognition/tagging/describing and sometimes gemma3:27b-it-qat for writing. All through Ollama, as that provides a unified interface, and then accessed from Emacs, command-line llm tool or my Clojure programs. There is no single "best" model yet, it seems. That's on an M4 Max with 64GB of RAM. I wish I had gotten the 128GB model, though — given that I run large docker containers that consume ~24GB of my RAM, things can get tight.
