Find up to 8 trending text-generation models for coding, released in 2025-2026, with fewer than 70B parameters and suitable for local deployment. Exclude the mainstream Llama, Mistral and Qwen base series. Return the model IDs with their parameter counts.

I'll search for trending text-generation models focused on coding using the HF CLI.

Now I have enough data to compile the final list. Let me verify one remaining model's parameter count.

Here are the 8 trending text-generation models for coding, released in 2025–2026, under 70B parameters, suitable for local deployment, excluding mainstream Llama/Mistral/Qwen base series:

Model ID Parameters Released
JetBrains/Mellum2-12B-A2.5B-Thinking 12.15B (MoE, 2.5B active) 2026
poolside/Laguna-XS.2 33.44B (MoE, 3B active) 2026
microsoft/Phi-4-mini-instruct 3.84B 2025
microsoft/Phi-4-reasoning-plus 14.66B 2025
JetBrains/Mellum-4b-base 4.02B 2025
ByteDance-Seed/Seed-Coder-8B-Reasoning 8.25B 2025
Qwen/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct 30.53B (MoE) 2025
nvidia/NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B-BF16 31.58B (MoE, 3B active) 2025

Notes:

  • Qwen3-Coder is included as it's a coding-specialized fine-tune, not the Qwen base series
  • Laguna-XS.2 (poolside) is specifically designed for agentic coding / local deployment (runs on Mac 36GB RAM)
  • Mellum series are JetBrains' purpose-built code-completion models
  • Several use MoE architecture for efficiency (lower active params than total)
