    Hey HN OpenCopilot is an OSS framework which helps devs to build open-source AI Copilots that actually work and embed into their product with ease. Why another LLM framework? Twitter is full of impressive LLM applications but once you peel off the curtains it’s clear that they are just demos. The reason being because building an AI Copilot that goes beyond a Twitter demo can be complex, time-consuming and unreliable. Our team has been in the AI space since 2018 and built numerous LLM apps & copilots. While doing that, we got approached by many startups saying they’d also like to build a…

    I would like to introduce Tabby, which is a self-hosted alternative to GitHub Copilot that you can integrate into your hardware. While GitHub Copilot has made coding more efficient and less time-consuming by assisting developers with suggestions and completing code, it raises concerns around privacy and security. Tabby is in its early stages, and we are excited to receive feedback from the community. Its Github repository is located here: https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby. We have also deployed the latest docker image to Huggingface for a live demo:…

    If you have tried GitHub's Copilot Chat, then this will look familiar to you. The main difference, however, is you can choose which LLM to talk to. So far OpenPilot supports GPT 3.5/4 and Google PaLM 2. I'd like to add support for more models (Claude 2, etc) but have been stuck on waiting lists so I haven't tested them. OpenPilot will give context to your prompts by automatically including relevant files from your workspace. You don't need to have the file open or manually highlight the code in question. It does this using 2 techniques: 1. All the files in your workspace are transformed…

    I'm Varun from the Codeium team. After support for VSCode, Jetbrains, Jupyter, and Colab, we are super excited to bring free AI-powered code autocomplete to Vim and Neovim. And in the spirit of Show HN, we have a playground version for anyone to try the tech in the browser without any installation (https://www.codeium.com/playground)! We also made the vim client open source and are open to contributions.

    Hey, HN! I was trying to find a good Copilot alternative since my experience with copilot degraded a lot and recent OpenAI drama leaves me no hope for improvement and i decided to take a look at self-hosting options. At the same time Copilot net is a small one - just 12b parameters and 2k of context. You can run much bigger networks locally in 2023. I have figured out that there are no good local options: most of the VS Code plugins simply connect neural networks to the code while copilot has extensive post and pre processing steps. Some of them still work with original copilot plugin (ie…
