LLM User Seeks Advice on Optimizing Coding Tasks with Small Models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is seeking advice on optimizing their setup for coding tasks using large language models. They are considering using "Little Coder," a system designed for smaller models, or sticking with "Just Pi" and its basic prompt and tools. The user runs a laptop with an 8GB NVIDIA GPU and 40GB of RAM, and finds models like Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B to be a good balance of quality and speed, but sometimes Hermes's context size is too large for their system.
