alt Hacker Newsi dont understand how people keep comparing local models with frontier models, they dont belong in the same discussion especially for coding usecases. they solve different problems under different constraints.

Indeed. Local models remain rock solid, while cloud models are a shitshow of stability.
I don't understand what do you mean. They both solve the same problem. Some models solve it better, some worse. And in some cases you can only use local models, so they solve more problems.
"Frontier" (closed) models are better by definition, but if frontier models were good enough for you half a year ago, open models are good enough now.
