Grab a 5090 and run Qwen 3.6 35b on it (6 parameter seems to work best for me).

Then buy $10 (or $2, if you're cheap, and they take PayPal) of DeepSeek credits.

Whilst you're at it spring for a Claude subscription too and GPT.

Switch models between Qwen, DeepSeek Flash, DeepSeek Pro, and you can meet 99% of your code generation needs.

Hop over to Opus 4.7 (or 4.8, but I haven't really used it yet) and GPT-5.5 when doing very complex architecture/design or troubleshooting something where DeepSeek Pro is getting stuck.

It is ridiculous how cheap this stuff is now. It's affordable at third world prices.
