So, how large is that new model?

Re: Qwen3-Max-Thinking
#13I don't see a hugging face link, is Qwen no longer releasing their models?
afaiu not all of their models are open weight releases, this one so far is not open weight (?)
What would a good coding model to run on an M3 Pro (18GB) to get Codex like workflow and quality? Essentially, I am running out quick when using Codex-High on VSCode on the $20 ChatGPT plan and looking for cheaper / free alternatives (even if a little slower, but same quality). Any pointers?

#142026 will be the year of open and/or small models.

Short answer: there is none. You can't get frontier-level performance from any open source model, much less one that would work on an M3 Pro.
If you had more like 200GB ram you might be able to run something like MiniMax M2.1 to get last-gen performance at something resembling usable speed - but it's still a far cry from codex on high.

at the moment, I think the best you can do is qwen3-coder:30b -- it works, and it's nice to get some fully-local llm coding up and running, but you'll quickly realize that you've long tasted the sweet forbidden nectar that is hosted llms. unfortunately.

A local model with 18GB of ram that has the same quality has codex high? Yeah, nah mate.
The best could be GLN 4.7 Flash, and I doubt it's close to what you want.

Ah ah I was curious about that! I wonder if (when? if not already) some company is using some version of this in their training set. I'm still impressed by the fact that this benchmark has been out for so long and yet produce this kind of (ugly?) results.

"run" as in run locally? There's not much you can do with that little RAM.
If remote models are ok you could have a look at MiniMax M2.1 (minimax.io) or GLM from z.ai or Qwen3 Coder. You should be able to use all of these with your local openai app.

Nothing. This summer I set up a dual 16GB GPU / 64GB RAM system and nothing I could run was even remotely close. Big models that didn't fit on 32gb VRAM had marginally better results but were at least of magnitude slower than what you'd pay for and still much worse in quality.
I gave one of the GPUs to my kid to play games on.
