Hey :) For a while now I use gpt-oss-20b on my home lab for lightweight coding tasks and some automation. I'm not so up to date with the current self-hosted LLMs and since the model I'm using was released at the beginning of August 2025 (From an LLM development perspective, it feels like an eternity to me) I just wanted to use the collective wisdom of lemmy to maybe replace my model with something better out there.

Edit:

Specs:

GPU: RTX 3060 (12GB vRAM)

RAM: 64 GB

gpt-oss-20b does not fit into the vRAM completely but it partially offloaded and is reasonably fast (enough for me)

I suggest looking at llm arena leaderboards filtered by open weight models. It offers benchmarks at a very complete and statistically detailed level for models, and usually is quite up to date when new models come out. The new Gemma that just came out might be the best for 1x GPU, and if you have a bunch of vram check out the larger Chinese models
