Realistically it can't match Fable, let alone Opus today. It can however beat basically all of the models from 1 year ago. If last years state of the art is "good enough" for you today then local is great.

What it did you try, and what are your use cases? Genuinely curious.

I am also curious what exactly you tried. Depending on your hardware it might also be worthwhile to stay in-tune with Qwen 4 and GLM 5.5/6.0 leaks.
