I see that qwen 3.5 has pretty good performance and can be run on macbook with 64GB ram
Qwen 3.6 is even better
I have played with qwen3-coder:30b for my hobby stuff running on my M5 max MacBook and it does alright. It is fast enough and I used ollama tools to let it request files. I haven’t used anything like Claude code to compare it to though, only a bit of the ChatGPT free tier stuff.
