I upgraded my PC, I have just upped the RAM to 64GB and got a Radeon 9700xt 16GB GPU.
I want to do some personal programming projects and was wondering what is the best model that would fit my HW?
I mostly use python, but dabble a little in go, and am interested in looking at rust.
I am running this on my desktop, the processor is a AMD 3700X (8c/16t).
are you looking for autocomplete or chat?
Is there a different recommendation for autocomplete?
in your range 32b models work well give qwen coder a try
I’d recommend Qwen 2.5 Coder. Just try to ask very direct questions with smaller context.
QWQ is a bit stronger at more advanced coding tasks but I had a ton of trouble finding a version that would fit in my 24G 7900xtx.
The one on top of your neck
Deepseek r1 14b
Gemma (assuming you are ok with the license)
What’s different about the Gemma license?
Not foss
Although foss is debatable in a foss context.
ChatGPT works great too if you don’t want to use ram
I am running local models only for privacy sensitive stuff. If you have ollama you can also setup openwebui and access both local and remote models through the same very nice interface! Also chatgpt API is much cheaper than subscribing.
Update: After updating to the latest kernel (6.14), and removing the old amdgpu drivers that i manually installed. I am now running on my GPU. I’m running deepseek coder 33B, and it generates approx 6 words/second.
what’s that good looking gnome app?
That is mission centre, a flatpak app. It is quite nice.
Thanks!
