Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I’m using VSCode but not wedded to it.
An issue you’ll run into here is that all the really fine tuned advanced ones are going to run in the cloud somewhere, meaning you’ll be transmitting code to someone. You could attempt a local or selfhost LLM, but doing that would require you to have or rent a beefy GPU with a ton of memory to run a good enough model.
