Most professionals do need the Max plan. To me, this is the sole reason I went local. I dont have limits. Get yourself 32gb of vram and you're going to be able to run good coder models without limits. If you've got the $, go even more. Though obviously a $3000-10,000 setup is a pretty long roi. The alternative, you go through openrouter and pay by the tokens. You never run out, but you pay for what you use and it's easy to change providers.
