12GB coding guide
A 12GB GPU is a practical floor for local coding helpers. Prefer green Q4 fits for daily use; yellow models can be useful tests but are not the best default for long agent loops.
Pick green candidates for code review, small edits, and focused scripts.
Longer repo context can push a green model toward yellow behavior.
For large repo-scale coding, compare hosted/cloud models after local options.
