Ask HN: Open-Source editor with local code completion?
I'm looking for a text editor similar to Cursor, Trae, or VS Code+Copilot, but one that would be open source and could use a local LLM as the backend.
Trae looks promising, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of sending my code/analytics/telemetry/whatever to the editor maker and the LLM vendor.
Are there any reasonably polished options available yet, particularly for macOS?

- fdeage 2y agoGreat, even though it appears to work only with VS Code and JetBrains...
- dschuessler 2y agoIf your sibling comment is right, it also runs on VSCodium, which is a distribution of the free and open source parts of VSCode and not to be confused with VSCode itself.

- fdeage 2y agoIt has a waitlist and appears to be a fork to VS Code... But I will give it a try!
- ericrallen 2y agoYou can run any OpenAI API-compatible local models via Ollama, LM Studio, etc.
