Let's say I have a server with an h200 gpu at home. What's the best open model for coding I can run on it today? And is it somewhat competitive with commercial models like sonnet 4.5?

That's still very limiting when comparing to commercial models. To be truly competitive with commercial offerings the bar is closer to 4-8x that for one node .
That said, maybe a quantized version of GLM 4.5 Air, but if we're talking no hardware constraints I find some of the responses from LongCat-Chat-Flash to be favorable over Sonnet when playing around with LMArena.
If you do, damn bro
I played around with renting H200s and coding with aider and gpt-oss 120b. It was impressive but not at the level of claude. I decided buying $30k worth of tokens made far more sense than buying 30k worth of one GPU.
If you have ~$25k to buy a H200 then don't buy one. Rent them out much cheaper and keep renting newer models when your H200 becomes an outdated paperweight.
Assuming you ran inference for the full working day, you'd need to run your H200 for almost 2 years to break even. Realistically you don't run inference full time so you'll never realise the value of the card before it's obsolete.
