The 'local model' is called your brain.

  I’m sorry but that’s just dumb. An LLM is a tool. Your brain is not a substitute for an LLM in the same way your fingers are not a substitute for a wrench. The year is 2026 and if you are using your brain on chore work like one-off scripts, refactoring, boilerplate test code, then you are wasting time and money and I don’t want to work with you. Local models are fine for this and can do it in a fraction of the time your brain will take to even get bootstrapped

    The year is 2026 the average RAM for the most common type of developer’s (web) machine is 16GB. 8 will be the lower end. Tell me which model can one run on this machine locally?

      You can use free models on opencode. Minimax whatever is just free. It's more than enough for these tasks.
