Biweekly reports on the state of local LLMs: new model releases with VRAM requirements, GPU price moves, and tooling updates. Dated, citable issues.

• Issue #2 — Local AI Report #2 — The Best Open-Source Coding Models Right Now · July 8, 2026 — A field guide to the strongest open-weight coding models in mid-2026: the SWE-bench frontier (DeepSeek V4-Pro, GLM-5.2, Kimi K2.6), the best coder you can actually download (Qwen3-Coder), and the setup that gives the most code per dollar on a single GPU.
• Issue #1 — Local AI Report #1 — The Mid-2026 Local LLM & Hardware Landscape · July 7, 2026 — The first biweekly digest on the state of local LLMs: the mid-2026 model generation (Gemma 4, Qwen 3.6, DeepSeek V4), where GPU prices actually stand, and what the current best-value setup looks like.
