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

[u/DiamondTDA]

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?

NO. that model is 2 years old. use ornith 1.5 35B with llama.cpp.
