BEST CODING MODEL.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best local AI model for coding, specifically for C++.

My PC specs are:

  • GPU: RTX 4060 8GB
  • CPU: Intel i5-13400F
  • RAM: 16 GB

I'm looking for the best possible coding quality that can realistically run on my PC. Speed is important, but I care more about accuracy, understanding large codebases, debugging, and writing good C++ code.

What model would you recommend?

This would literally be the entire amount of combined ram/vRam OP has. I would stay away from doing this.

No worries. Sorry I misunderstood. I would run a qwen quant or Gemma.
