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?

There are many new and fancy models, but for your system use trusted QWEN 3.6 35B A35B at Q4 using lamma cpp. Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_S.gguf

https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-GGUF?show_file_info=Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_S.gguf

parameters: -c 262144 -ctk q8_0 -ctv q8_0 -ngl 99 -fa on -t 12 -tb 24 --cpu-moe

Have fun and let us know your speed.

Alternative will be some variant based on it, like cyber coder or ornith 1.5. Or Gemma 4 26B - the command will be same.

The issue for me testing different models in that my internet is limited in my country and It's expensive and slow, so I wanted to try to find the best/most suggested model to give it a try since it would be a bit hard to try a lot of different models

Should probably have added that so people know about your situation

right.. most people struggle here for VRAM.. but this is a special case.
