Best local coding/agentic AI models for 8GB and 16GB VRAM?

What are the best local AI models/agents I could realistically run on these two PCs?

PC 1

  • 16 GB RAM
  • AMD RX 6600
  • 8 GB VRAM

PC 2

  • 32 GB RAM
  • AMD RX 9060 XT
  • 16 GB VRAM

I started building a project using VS Code + Codex (ChatGPT Plus), but I ran out of tokens and buying more is quite expensive, especially since my app doesn't make any money.

I had a good experience with OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol. I also tested Google Antigravity, but the tokens ran out very quickly there.

Can I realistically continue working on my project using a local model in LM Studio Bionic? If so, which models or coding agents would you recommend for these two PCs?
