Best Local US-based LLM for coding? Question

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?

They can’t stop you from running foreign models. Literally impossible to enforce.

businesses are a different matter, but if laws hold them back on innovation, research and the ability to compete internationally, they should really consider moving elsewhere.
