I’m looking for recommendations on coding models. I have a 5060 Ti with 16GB of VRAM, it’s a modest GPU, but it has been helping me build a lot of cool stuff at work. Yesterday we had downtime with Codex and Claude Code, and I realized I really need a local “backup” model for coding. I downloaded Qwen2.5 14B Coder, but I couldn’t get it to run properly in OpenCode, it would start generating and then stop. After searching online, I saw several people reporting the same issue.
