I’d like to set up a local coding assistant so that I can stop using Google to ask complex questions to for search results.

I really don’t know what I’m doing or if there’s anything that’s available that respects privacy. I don’t necessarily trust search results for this kind of query either.

I want to run it on my desktop, Ryzen 7 5800xt + Radeon RX 6950xt + 32gb of RAM. I don’t need or expect data center performance out of this thing.

Something like LM Studio and Qwen sounds like it’s what I’m looking for, but since I’m unfamiliar with what exists I figured I would ask for Lemmy’s opinion.

Is LM Studio + Qwen a good combo for my needs? Are there alternatives?

    I like it to generate my git comments.
    Sometimes I just don’t know how to actually describe what I did.
