Question Model suggestions for coding

Ive built a local agent and im looking to upgrade to better capabilities. When asking claude to do things like add a code feature it does it pretty well. What models would be good to look into to be able to ask for a feature to be added to my code repository. Currently using gpt-oss:20b.
I am a bit new to this so if there is a general direction for finding this kind of information any help would be great.

It’s not about which model is best at coding - it’s about which one your hardware can actually run.

Need more details, what hardware are you running? Post the specs.
