I’ve been experimenting with qwen2.5-coder:7b and it’s the perfect middle ground. Easily runs on 6 GB VRAM while automating boring stuff and letting me focus on new things.
I’ve been running qwen3 coder 30B and I’ve got to say, I’m unimpressed.
I sent it some lines of python for analysis to tell me what’s wrong with it. it miscounted the index number and said it was fine to run even though it was totally broken.
It constantly trips over itself in mid-sentence stating what it just said was wrong, and then finds a totally different way to be wrong.
it’s about as dumb as a brand new college dropout developer.
I actually really enjoy berating it and calling it stupid when it confidently gets things wrong, so that’s about all I keep it around for.
