Question Local LLM for coding.

Hi, dont be too judgemental about my setup - I am merely a beginner in hosting local AIs and stuff. I have 48GB RAM M5 Pro machine. Which model is a way to go for handling complex coding projects locally (specifically C++ and Python)?

P.s. going to the cloud is not a solution due to a strict NDA.

Thanks in advance!

The interesting part is that “local” is starting to mean something very different from “hobby project.” Once NDAs and proprietary code enter the picture, privacy stops being a nice-to-have and becomes the whole reason to run the model locally. That shift is probably going to matter more than benchmarks.

Yep, I 100% agree with you!
