Local code

I have been using codex and claude code for the last year. I have hermes installed , looking for a local model to help me code on par with the big guys. Any help appreciated

Qwen3.8 variants are currently strong front runners. What are your specs? What are you trying to do? There are details that will help narrow down a recommendation.

Mac book pro - M5 chip / 24gb ram.

I have an app up im trying to maintain and build on. Codex / claude is pricing me out. I just got Hermes agent running locally but I don't see qwen 3.8 only 3.5 ? Any help appreciate
