I wanted to share with you all my experience on coding with local AI, on a self-hosted oss.

(the entire post has been fully written by me without any AI)

Check the linked blog post.

Also, to be clear, the post itself has no ads and no monetization whatsoever. This is not self promotion for any scope than to share my experience on a controversial topic.

(this has been posted on a couple of self-host communities, but i thought it could be of interest here as well)

Adding here for this community: my setup is a Ryzen 9 5950X with 64gb DDR4 and two NVIDIA RTX A4000 (32gb VRAM total), running Qwen 3.8 27b UD_Q5_K, with 200k context (q8) on llama.cpp.

    Not scientific, but I sometimes get Gemma4 check Qwen 3.8’s work because I noticed when a model knows its not their work, they’re a lot more critical. Might be helpful to get another model to review tests.
