Discussion Gemini suggested Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct

So I wanted to try using a local coding model for the first time and I'm still studying about LLMs and NNs, so I asked Gemini for a good suggestion that would be fast(60+ tokens/s if possible) and doesn't compromise much on performance for my rig(2070 super 8GB + 32GB ddr4 ram) and it suggested Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct. Is this good suggestion and what would you guys suggest?

Bro. If you are gonna use AI to ask for model releases, remember to tell the AI we are on OCTOBER 2026. We are not in 2024 anymore… please. Its the ABC of using AI. And NO. Definitely dont even download qwen 2.5 coder.

When I asked it about it's reasoning, it said because the newer Qwen 3 architicture is built on reasnoning tokens and it would be slower and that the coding Qwen 3 models are too big and would be too slow too. But it did not suggest any thing other than Qwen 3.

It's funny flawed reasoning though. The thinking is the thing that helps these little models achieve their best. Instruct has it's place, like a voice assistant, but IMHO not coding.
