Qwable 27B Coder: Best Local Coding Model Yet? (Benchmarks, Demos & How to Run on Mac)The video demos Qwable 27B Coder, a new open-source local coding model on Hugging Face (updated end of June) built on a Qwen 3.6 27B base, showing projects made locally like a polished animated landing page and working games. It’s run on a Mac Studio (Apple M4 Max, 36GB) using Apple MLX (not available via Ollama) and is integrated into an agent operating system to generate live previews and save builds in a workspace. The presenter says Qwable tops their local leaderboards (Goldie Bench/Cody Bench comparisons) and outperforms recently tested local models like Gemma 4 12B Coder, Quifos 9B, and Onif 1.0 on the same tasks, though it runs noticeably slower than smaller models such as Quifos 9B.00:00 Meet Qwable 27B00:56 Demos Landing Pages01:23 Model Specs Setup02:04 Benchmarks Versus Locals02:40 Running On Mac03:03 Agent OS Live Previews04:24 Speed Tradeoffs05:00 Real Task Comparisons05:49 Local AI Is Accelerating06:05 Agent OS Features Tour06:40 Community Courses Pitch07:28 Wrap Up Thanks
