What type of code you write for which the opensource models aren't good enough?

I use Qwen2.5 coder for auto complete and occasional chat. I don't want AI to edit my code and so this works well for me.

I agree that the hardware investment for local AI is steep but IMO the local models are good enough for most experienced coders who just want a better autocomplete than the one provided by the IDE by default.

Using AI for autocomplete is like using a racecar to pick up groceries. This is exactly what the author says about avoiding LLMs for some ideological or psychological refusal.

Nothing's wrong with using autocomplete in addition to agents.

The people who are subscribing to private LLM models are not doing it for better autocomplete. These are the people who want more features like agents.
