I don't know what kind of coding, but for my case it's been useless. Not working code almost every time. It's much quicker to just write it by hand than use that model.


I've been experimenting with Qwen3 Coder Next and Copilot for a little Rust toy project and it's been trucking along. It does require a fair bit of hand-holding (or perhaps I just don't trust it to give it larger tasks), but it works alright.


Give 3.5 or 3.6 a shot. 3.5 has smaller models that you could leverage. If you can swing it, though, 3.6 27B is quite good.
