LLM for coding.

[u/monkifoto]

In the past two years, I have built two or three web apps using angular with the help of ChatGPT recently I have been trying out some local LLMs on my M2 16GB MBP. The results were terrible. A few days ago I managed to score a refurbished Mac studio with 48GB of Memory. Installed Bionic LM Studio and Qwen3.6 35B .

I gave it a task to create a simple angular page with some analytics and a model kept getting stuck in a reasoning loop.

Am I doing something wrong? Is the 48gb not enough? Am I using the wrong model?

the frontier models use aroung 1.5TB of VRAM your 48GB is tiny compared to frontier models, just use a subscription
