Is there any privacy-oriented AI tool for programming?
Sorry, but ed is a far more private, secure, feature-complete, and, most importantly, Standard, editor. It also can run inside of xterm, which codium cannot, which is a big problem.
Sorry, I’m too ignorant and didn’t know about the marvels of ed. It seems absolutely superior compared to everything else I’ve tried so far. It truly deserves being the Standard editor.
Codium runs just fine in xterm.
It displays elsewhere, sure. But it runs there just fine.
Note: codium and codeium are two completely separate products.
That’s fine. The post I was responding to mentioned the one I mentioned though, so nyaaa.
Depends on what you’re trying to get it to do. There are plenty of offline models that can run through code, but their effectiveness is only as good as their training.
The entire functional nature of code-aware AI models requires large amounts of data to be trained on, so it’s own existence is not privacy friendly, technically.
Maybe have a run through LM Studio and try a bunch of different things out
I have to do some Lua scripts, and I don’t know the syntax very well, so I was looking for a tool that could help me with some code suggestions until I get more used to Lua.
Then, you have a great point regarding the need of large amounts of data to work. In that sense, likely non of them respect privacy during their development.
My question was more about privacy regarding user data and the prompts you use. I believe that running something locally like ollama (as others suggested) is the best option for what I’m trying to achieve, which is simple feedback about the code.
I rarely use AI, but when I do, I use local instances. I personally use Ollama (https://ollama.com). It exposes a REST API which extensions/plugins can talk to. I used Privy in VSCod(e/ium) and CodeCompanion in Neovim.
Thanks! I didn’t know about CodeCompanion, I’ll look into it more!
Love it. U have to do some fucking around to get ms plugin repo to work. And there are no plugins that work to develop inside of docker containers. U can use reborn ai plugin and point it to openai, openrouters, or a self hosted an instance for ai chat. Idk about ai completions like how copilot does tho.
Thanks for the info!
<continue.dev> with a local ollama setup, there’s also tabnine, which can be run locally (i think?)
Thanks! I didn’t know about continue. It seems interesting. I was interested in codeium since I saw it can run in nvim too, which is my preferred editor. But running it with a local ollama setup seems very cool, and would definitely be better. Thanks!
on a somewhat related note, you might want to check out the neovim extension, it essentially lets you run neovim inside of VSCod(e/ium) (not just a bunch of shortcuts)
