Free local AI coding agent for a 4070 Ti SUPER rig
After free cloud tiers added subscription limits, a user with an RTX 4070 Ti SUPER asked for a fully free local coding agent. The practical answer: 16GB VRAM fits a 24-32B coder like Qwen3-Coder at usable quantization, driven by Cline or Roo Code through Ollama for file edits and terminal commands. Local models shine on small scoped tasks like "fix this function" and wander on whole-system rebuilds, so chunking the work is the key trick.
