What type of code you write for which the opensource models aren't good enough?

I use Qwen2.5 coder for auto complete and occasional chat. I don't want AI to edit my code and so this works well for me.

I agree that the hardware investment for local AI is steep but IMO the local models are good enough for most experienced coders who just want a better autocomplete than the one provided by the IDE by default.
