🌙 MidnightCoder-30B-GGUF
A GGUF distribution of Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct optimized for the Midnight Coder software engineering agent.
MidnightCoder-30B-GGUF is designed for developers who want to run a powerful coding model locally using llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio, or any GGUF-compatible inference engine.
This distribution is optimized for the Midnight Coder agent but is fully compatible with any coding agent or workflow. It excels at structured, specification-driven software engineering while remaining suitable for general-purpose coding tasks.
Run directly with Ollama
You can download and run MidnightCoder-30B directly from Ollama:
ollama run midnightcoderagent/MidnightCoder-30B
Or pull it first:
ollama pull midnightcoderagent/MidnightCoder-30B

All credit for the pretrained model belongs to the Qwen Team (Alibaba).
This repository distributes the model in GGUF format for local inference.
About Midnight Coder
Midnight Coder is an open-source AI coding assistant focused on structured software engineering.
Instead of behaving like a generic chatbot, Midnight Coder follows an engineering workflow centered around planning, specifications, implementation, and verification.
Typical workflow:
- Understand the task
- Create a technical specification
- Define implementation scope
- Implement changes
- Verify results
- Report completed work
This workflow helps produce predictable, maintainable, and review-friendly code.
Intended Use
MidnightCoder-30B-GGUF is suitable for:
- Software Engineering
- Backend Development
- Frontend Development
- API Design
- SQL
- Docker
- DevOps
- Linux
- Code Review
- Refactoring
- Documentation
- Debugging
- Architecture Discussions
Compatible Software
The model can be used with:
- llama.cpp
- Ollama
- LM Studio
- Open WebUI
- Jan
- KoboldCpp
- Text Generation WebUI
- Any GGUF-compatible runtime
Recommended Context
Recommended context sizes:
| Context | Recommended Usage |
|---|---|
| 8K | Small projects |
| 16K | General development |
| 32K | Large repositories |
| 64K+ | Complex multi-file projects (hardware permitting) |
Example (llama.cpp)
llama-cli \
-m MidnightCoder-30B-Q4_K_M.gguf \
-c 32768
Example (Ollama)
Create a Modelfile:
FROM MidnightCoder-30B-Q4_K_M.gguf
SYSTEM """
<Midnight Coder system prompt>
"""
Build:
ollama create midnightcoder -f Modelfile
Run:
ollama run midnightcoder
Performance Notes
The required memory depends on:
- Quantization
- Context size
- KV cache precision
- Runtime configuration
Lower quantizations reduce memory usage while higher quantizations generally preserve more model quality.
Limitations
Like any language model:
- Responses may contain inaccuracies.
- Generated code should always be reviewed.
- Security-sensitive code requires human validation.
- Production deployments should include proper testing.
License
This repository distributes a GGUF version of the original model.
Please refer to the original Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct license for licensing terms regarding the base model.
