Ask HN: Has anyone replaced Claude/GPT with a local model for daily coding? 1 month ago
I use Qwen 3.6 35B A3B for agentic coding using GitHub Copilot Extension for VSCode. Mac Mini 128GB as the hardware. Seems reasonable for that model size, but I notice looping issue when problem becomes too big to solve. You can use it to do something that you know how to do (saves time).
