Practical Tip
1. Set up a local 27B parameter model like Qwen on a local GPU such as an RTX 3090. 2. Use a high-end commercial API model like GPT-6.1 Sol exclusively to generate the architectural plan and logic for your code. 3. Feed the generated plan into your local model to write the actual code blocks, saving on API token costs.
