The one currently making the headlines is Kimi K2.6, on the benchmarks it's just short of Opus 4.7. It's a trillion-parameter model so it won't run on desktop computers, but it's something a company could run on reasonably buildable servers for their own use.

For local use, I've been finding Qwen3.6's 35B parameter model to be uncannily good. Gemma4 is also good, that's one of the Western ones. These models won't do the sort of heavy lifting that Opus can do but you don't need that heavy lifting for all tasks.
