Good morning! I'm all in on local LLMs too—privacy, no filters, and owning your setup is the way forward. By 2026, efficiency has improved a ton with better quantization (like AWQ-4bit) and MoE architectures, so even big models run smoother on high-end consumer hardware. Assuming your beefy PC has something like 4+ high-VRAM GPUs (e.g., RTX 4090s or A100 equivalents with 80GB+ total VRAM), you can handle 100B+ params without too much sweat. If it's more modest (e.g., 2x 4090s), stick to 30-70B models.

Here's a rundown of the top local/open-source models for coding tasks right now (late 2025 data, but trends hold into 2026). I prioritized ones excelling in agentic coding (e.g., multi-file edits, tool use, debugging), SWE-bench scores, and real-world dev workflows. They're all uncensored by default when run locally. Download from Hugging Face, and use tools like Ollama, LM Studio, or Jan for easy setup—Ollama's great for quick spins, while Jan shines for agentic stuff.

### Top Picks for Coding-Focused Local LLMs

I'll table the best ones based on recent benchmarks and community feedback, focusing on coding strength, size/efficiency, and hardware fit. These are quantized versions for home runs; full precision needs datacenter-level gear.

| Model | Params | Strengths for Coding | Hardware Fit (Quantized) | Why It Rocks |

|-------|--------|-----------------------|---------------------------|--------------|

| Devstral-2-123B | 123B | Agentic workflows, multi-file edits, massive 256K context for big repos, top SWE-bench scorer. Feels like a "senior engineer" for fixes and planning. | 2x RTX Pro 6000 or 8x RTX 3090s (full context). | Best overall for complex projects; handles undocumented codebases without hallucinating. |

| Qwen3-Coder-30B | 30B | Pure coding beast—bug fixes, autocomplete, instruction following. Runs fast even on mid-tier setups. | Single RTX 4090 (16GB VRAM quantized). | Efficient daily driver; great for laptops too if you dial down context. Outperforms bigger models on targeted dev tasks. |

| MiniMax-M2 | ~120B (MoE) | Interleaved thinking for agents, solid UI/design alongside code, tool use without fuss. | 2x RTX Pro 6000 or 8x RTX 3090s. | Versatile for full-stack work; MoE makes it punchy without constant high load. |

| GLM-4.5-Air | ~90B | All-rounder with strong agentic coding, structured outputs, and low power draw for multi-agent runs. | Single RTX Pro 6000 or 4x RTX 3090s. | Fits on fewer GPUs; uncensored and reliable for planning/debugging. |

| SWE-Smith-32B (Qwen2.5 fine-tune) | 32B | Interview prep, algorithms, repo-wide changes—beats Claude 3.5/GPT-4o level on SWE tasks. | 1-2x RTX 4090s (M3/M4 Max Mac equivalent). | Optimized for dev; emergent smarts from fine-tuning. |

| NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B | 30B | Tool calling, math/code hybrid tasks, punches above weight on agents. | Single high-VRAM GPU (low active params). | Speedy and multilingual; great for quick iterations without guilt-tripping your power bill. |

| Codestral (Mistral) | 22B | Fast autocompletion, code gen; fine-tunable if needed. | Entry-level beefy PC (e.g., RTX 4080+). | Lightweight starter; pairs well with VS Code extensions like Continue.dev. |

| DeepSeek-Coder | Varies (7-33B) | Competitive coding, algorithms; open-source and uncensored. | Scales to your rig—smaller for testing. | Budget-friendly; strong on benchmarks without bloat. |

### Quick Tips to Get Started

- **Setup**: Ollama for simplicity (just `ollama run `), or Open WebUI for a nice browser interface with RAG/custom instructions. Hugging Face for gritty/experimental models—quantize with AWQ or GPTQ to fit your VRAM.

- **Integration**: Hook into VS Code via Continue.dev or CodeGPT for autocomplete. For agents (e.g., auto-fixing repos), try Jan or SWE-Agent frameworks.

- **Efficiency Gains**: By 2026, expect even better—models like MoEs (e.g., MiniMax) activate fewer params per query, and hardware like next-gen NVIDIA/AMD GPUs will make 200B+ feasible at home. If VRAM's tight, start with 4-bit quant and layer offloading.

- **Caveats**: Local means you handle the context management—no infinite tokens like cloud services. Test on small projects first; models can still hallucinate without good prompting.

I also had #1 for work, #5, #10, #14 and then I went all droids until Motorola sold to Google and ruined them. My son #17 and loved it still says its his favorite phone.

First phone I had was a bag phone in the early 90's that was part of a promotion at a gas station(believe it was a Shell) from US Cellular.

Good old days.....

Of course it is and thats why they try so hard to break that bond of the nuclear family. When you aren't fortunate enough to be in one you are much easier to control.

well you were so confident before you made sound as if you could provide the arrests and etc. but alas nothing

lol .... this is in the NY Post, just what I thought you are a fraud trying to feed the sheep because you don't like the message. Get lost liar....

thats cold 🥶

I have been following this for years, you google it and show me the proof. Show me they didn't get any money, who investigated it, who shut it down and when it stopped.

Show me the public record of arrests, what the fines and sentences were?

You show me you are the one making the claims I don't have to google anything.

If you can't show me your proof get lost with your noise.

There has been local news reports by KSTP for years and the Republicans actually tried to do something about it but when you have a corrupt media like the star tribune and the local CBS who won't cover it or out right lie the sheep have no idea it's happening. Noise was made about the mess before and nothing happened. Unless someone of significance gets arrested and jailed will it really end?

You are fraud and have no idea what you are talking, back up your BS with proof or go try to feed the gullible sheep somewhere else

The EU is nothing but a leach and failing in so many ways

Do the younger generations wake up in America or do they keep eating what they are feeding them....

Cuban Intelligence Officer explains what’s being done to destabilize America

“He said, listen, I'm going to just be honest with you. We're targeting your education system, and I'm going to give you our 5 principles of warfare

- It's easier to change a young mind than an older mind

- It's easier to create instability when you create division in America

- It's easier to create confusion when you normalize the abnormal

- If you portray law and order as fascism, you can tear down a democratic Western society

- In Marxism, crisis is the key

Now, take those principles I just gave you and think about what teachers unions and school districts brought into your schools in the last decade. Normalize the abnormal.

- Let's have a man go into a women's bathroom pretending he's a female athlete and let him win all the awards on the podium

- DEI and CRT were designed to create division, to divide America between two classes of people, the oppressed and the oppressors.

- The oppressors are white people, everyone else falls into the oppressed class

If you divide a country along those lines and you train children that that's the story, now you can start to create the protest movement that starts to bring down the country.

- The other thing he said is that in Marxism, crisis is the key. You have to keep creating another crisis to create the sense that your country is falling apart.

Now think about the inscription on some of the bullets that were recently recovered in some of these assassination attempts.

— They've been brought into your kids classrooms. They've been brought into your child's discord chats when they're playing video games.

This guy mentioned how much he spent in the final days of his career on discord trying to poison the young minds of children here.

There isn't an accident to what's going on in our schools. Yeah, there's teachers unions and there are nonprofits that are there, but our foreign enemies have a plan and they see the education system as the first step in destabilizing America.”

In the grand scheme of things they would probably laugh just hard at you that you actually feel it necessary to point something out that most boomers couldn't care less about. I always find it amusing how some try to belittle others to prop up their own insecurities.... Hope that made you feel like the big man you want to be because you aren't there yet

Let's be real even with all its flaws X is light years ahead of nostr and you are right nostr does feel forced. While the interfaces have greatly improved it just seems very ... Ah let me read the top 20 posts on the last 24 hours and ...

Thanks for the meaningless reply, I just love the simpletons who really have nothing to say but have to comment anyway just....just cause...

lol.... I am sure he does you obviously have never listened to him before. Its amusing today how people think they know everything about something from short little clips......

because most people lack critical thinking skills and jump on the bandwagon of some popular figure they like..... a world of simpletons
