alt Hacker NewsTo me the blocker with using coding agents is having to rely on a paid external service. Are there any local models that are good enough to be used for coding?

depends on how clear your instructions are, if there is no ambiguity you can even use gemma4 e2b/e4b.
As of this month, Qwen3.6 (either the 27B or 35B-A3B) or Gemma 4 are talked about often.
Also maybe this will help: https://hnup.date/hn-sota
The qwen model is my daily driver this week.
