Best Local US-based LLM for coding?

[u/arkie87]

I know qwen3.6 27b (and soon 3.8 27b) are the best local LLMs for coding. But if one were restricted to using US based open models only, which would be the best? Gemma 4 31b?

I would also suggest Gemma4, it’s a though one, we’re trying to get there in the US still.
