I've been experimenting recently with replacing Github Copilot with one of the open source and open weight alternatives. This post goes over how to set these up!

I'm confused. The article ends up using a cloud service (NVidia NIM) as the backend anyway, so is it still self hosted?

the article talks about a dozen options.. the one you mention is just one of those

Actually self-hosting without using the cloud at all involves building a multi-gpu rig.

NIMs are just to try out the concept.

Honestly, doing it this way is still a bit more secure than using OpenAI or Anthropic directly because its a slight guard against your code being used in future training sets for the next iteration of their AI.

And that's bad because? You want to use a product without improving it?

FYI the syntax highlighting on some of the code blocks makes it unreadable.

I've been trying to figure out how to change the color in my Hugo based static site generator, but its damn near impossible to locate the appropriate CSS

Ok, I finally fixed this. Accidentally set the python code highlighting to JSON. Have changed the code highlighting theme to a lighter color.

Too bad in the model comparison table they did not include the GitHub Copilot itself.

Cursor is better.
