I’m a full-stack developer looking to start using a local AI to assist with the "ask" function and occasionally the "agent" mode. What’s the best local AI I could use? I tried "qwen3-coder-next," but I found it extremely heavy; the agent mode ran at a snail's pace, and the ask mode was sluggish too. Is it really worth trying a local AI, or should I just settle for the big-name providers like Gemini, GPT, and Claude?
