To 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?

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.

depends on how clear your instructions are, if there is no ambiguity you can even use gemma4 e2b/e4b.
