Best general purpose uncensored or censored coding model with 6GB VRAM and 64GB of RAM?

Reddit r/LocalLLaMA News

Summary

A user seeks recommendations for the best uncensored or censored AI coding model to run locally on hardware with limited VRAM, aiming for faster response times and integration with development tools like Visual Studio and VS Code.

I haven't had a lot of luck in the reliability of the output of any models so far for local coding use, and find myself relying on Claude's limited free sessions to assist with coding. My coding application varies, I'm primarily using C, C++, C# and Python - with a bit of extension work using json on Firefox. While I am primarily interested in uncensored models - I do some security related work and don't need the model constantly rejecting my queries - but I am receptive to using censored models if I can get better results. Qwen 3.8-27B would be nice - but response times of an hour aren't practical. I'm wanting responses to be less than a minute. Other than upgrading my system, which financially isn't an option - what's your suggestion for best model to run with reasonable response times for coding purposes? I'm not necessarily interested in agentic AI, but if there is an agentic model that integrates with Visual Studio 2026 and/or VS Code on a Windows System better than LM-Studio, OR - there's more effective ways to run a model with faster response times from the command line or using something like Unsloth on this system - I'm all ears. Thank you in advance!
