This is a completely fair, but open question. Not to be a typical HN user, but when you say SOTA local, the question is really what benchmarks do you really care about in order to evaluate. Size, operability, complexity, explainability etc.
Working out what copilot models perform best has been a deep exercise for myself and has really made me evaluate my own coding style on what I find important and things I look out for when investigating models and evaluating interview candidates.
I think three benchmarks & leaderboards most go to are:
https://evalplus.github.io/leaderboard.html - which I think is a better take on comparing models you intend to run locally as you can evaluate performance, operability and size in one visualisation.
Best of luck and I would love to know which models & benchmarks you choose and why.
I'm honestly more interested in anecdotes and I'm just seeking anything that can be a drop-in copilot replacement (that's subjectively better). Perhaps one major thing I'd look for is improved understanding of the code in my own workspace.
I honestly don't know what benchmarks to look at or even what questions to be asking.

I think three benchmarks & leaderboards most go to are:
https://huggingface.co/spaces/bigcode/bigcode-models-leaderb... - which is the most understood, broad language capability leaderboad that relies on well understood evaluations and benchmarks.
https://huggingface.co/spaces/mike-ravkine/can-ai-code-resul... - Also comprehensive, but primarily assesses Python and JavaScript.
