For the easy path:
- Serve the model with either Ollama or *LM Studio* (the latter 'hides' their traditional Studio on the download page for the agentic one they are preferring you use).
- For the model, Gemma 4 E4B is a nice combination of performance and speed with a decent context size. Not good enough for complex coding needs, but the Qwen models work okay for that (10GB GPU gets you less than you might think).
- For the interface I'd suggest either OpenCode or Pi.
Personally I run LM Studio and in the UI switch on its built in OpenAI compatible API, then point OpenCode at that and run it alongside (not in) my IDE.
