On top of this.. i am in Tech, and i am not paying any money to use AI.
I'm running it locally with
LMStudioorclaude-codein the terminal. I use free portals like https://chatgpt.com, https://venice.ai/, or with throwaway emails at https://grok.com & https://gab.ai or even with corporate 'chatbots' (eg: Hi i am interested in <the product the company has> and i would really like to discuss signing up with a plan, but before i do that, i have to fix this problem i have with python: <code problem here>)I won't be buying tokens at all, and if the free ways ever disappear, i have local options to use on my own hardware.
Do you use local LLMs for coding or project management? Which ones do you use? How does it compare to GPT-5 ?
i'm using whatever LLM's i can get for free.. i haven't really settled on any one, but i use one for code generation when im in the terminal.. i forget which one though.
I have been using GPT5.5 with Codex, and recently lost access to it for a couple days. So I decided to use local LLMs. Apparently Qwen and Deepseek are good. I tried plugging them instead of GPT5.5
Honestly it felt like I gave a trigonometry problem to kindergarten kids. One of them actually said "There are too many files to check and I wont be able to finish it, so I will stop here" 🤣
I have and use both Qwen and Deepseek. But i haven't exactly settled on anything local. I'm honestly using the free online resources primarily, but local when needed or not online.
