laguna-xs.2:latest

Currently testing those above on AMD Ryzen 5 3600x with 48GB of RAM and a nVidia 3080 with 10GB of VRAM.

Favorite model is laguna-xs.2 because it is really fast on CPU and very good.

If you’re able to run qwen3-coder, have you thought about 3.6 27B or 35B? Looking at benchmarks, 3.6 looks its gained a lot over qwen3-coder

qwen 3.6 35B on 128GB strix halo.

perfect speed to not melt the brain and can extend context for well scoped projects.

need to work with dynamic context pruning to ensure full reuse in larger projects.

deer-flow seems. to work well for project scoping and high level evals. opencode for coding.
