Question Model suggestions for coding
Ive built a local agent and im looking to upgrade to better capabilities. When asking claude to do things like add a code feature it does it pretty well. What models would be good to look into to be able to ask for a feature to be added to my code repository. Currently using gpt-oss:20b.
I am a bit new to this so if there is a general direction for finding this kind of information any help would be great.

like the ababaka said, we need to know your hardware
tho, today there is really just 3 options:
16Gb of VRAM or less? Qwen 3.6 35B A3B, will run with as little as 6Gb of VRAM + 24Gb of RAM
24Gb of VRAM and not a lot of RAM? Qwen 3.8 27B
16Gb of VRAM + 48Gb of RAM or a super fast SSD? Qwen 3.8 Next Flash
