🖥️ Local / Self-Hosted Coding frontier

As of October 25, 2026, the highest Local / Self-Hosted Coding score on this frontier is GPT-6 Astra at 100.0, at a blended price of $10.00 per million tokens.

A coding assistant you run on your own hardware — no API bills, full privacy, works offline. Restricted to open-weight, self-hostable models and weighted toward practical coding and agentic ability, with a slice for the self-correction that smaller local models lean on inside a good harness. There is no cost axis because inference runs on hardware you already own.

The y axis is this scenario's weighted score. Switch axes to compare against speed, latency or context. See the full ranking.
