I use local for code completions only. Which means models supporting FIM tokens.
My current setup is the llama-vscode plugin + llama-server running Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct. It leads to very fast completions, and don't have to worry about internet outages which take me out of the zone.
I do wish qwen-3 released a 7B model supporting FIM tokens. 7B seems to be the sweet spot for fast and usable completions
qwen3-coder-30B-A3B supports FIM and should be faster than the 7B if you got the vram.
I use bartowkski’s Q8 quant over dual 3090s and it gets up to 100tok/sec. The Q4 quant on a single 3090 is very fast and decently smart.
