I've played with a fair few local models, Qwen 3.8 27B is the only one I've currently kept around (Muse Glimmer came the closest but will vacillate wildly if pushed, Qwen doesn't seem to do that (as much), I don't use it to generate code, it's essentially a glorified linter, it's pretty good at spotting dumb stuff you miss when you proofcheck your own code, especially things like comment drift where I alter a function and it makes the comment slightly (or sometimes wildly) out of sync with behaviour. It's fine for that (and I happen to have a 24GB VRAM GPU anyway since I game on the same PC). It's neat but for me not world changing. It's also just fun to be able to poke stuff and see what it can and can't do (but I could see how it could also become a time trap in cases where it gets kinda close and you want to fix that).
