this is why you think open source models aren't good on the left is the average provider, on the right is opencode zen left is slow, vomits out tool call parse failures, confuses itself and takes 5x longer to complete

Top 5 local LLMs: 1. GLM-4.5-air: best agentic/coding model that runs on consumer hardware at very decent speeds. Rivals Claude 4-sonnet. 2. Nousresearch/hermes-70B: the only model that will do whatever you ask, and tell you whatever you want to know. Literally critical to have. 3. GPT-OSS-120B: very intelligent it’s like having 4o at home, great context window, great agent 4. Qwen3-coder-30B-3A-instruct: very good coding agent, excellent workhorse, incredibly fast 5. Mistral-magistral-small: very fast, excellent agent, great coder, multimodal, punches way, way, above its size. I would be okay never using a proprietary llm, although given the subsidised compute I will continue to use them since I’m getting free leverage.@0xSero@OpenRouter10+2Techniques I'd master if building RAG systems that actually work: Bookmark this. 1.
