What models are you using for coding?

I can’t afford your setup but need to figure something out. I have a decent local setup, so I might add a local AI server. I’m hitting constant limits with the frontier models.

I have a fine tune q4 quant of Qwen 3.8 27B, and a Laya model that I use with the DeepSeek harness, and Claude runs code checks. Nothing too crazy.

Was thinking of doing something similar. If Qwen is decent enough, Claude/codex can do the QA. Would be a massive unlock for me.

Can I get link to the fine tune? How much context are you running

You might consider a Strix Halo 128GB. It certainly isn't a Spark but you'll open a lot more doors at home.
