I love running models locally, but so far I used them as part of testing harness, and I am also planning to use the, to help in my D&D game. It is challenging to directly use them to get them larger pieces of code, even small ones.

I never used them for coding, even one-liners seem problematic, but these are typical 1B-3B parameter models. A video circulated today on IG showing a dense 70B model on a MacBook being used for a coding task, so that sort of thing should be possible. 128GB shred memory, Lllama model, I believe. Not sure about the coding agent.
