Let's build a 100% free copilot using an open-source LLM
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲
Last week Hugging Face released 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝟮, the first Fully Transparent and Permissive Self-Alignment LLM for 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, with open-source weights AND training data.
Let's use this model to build our own FREE AI Coding Assistant and integrate it with VS Code.
This way you can stop paying 10 USD/month for GitHub Copilot, and say thank you to the open-source community.

Ollama is an open-source tool to run Large Language Models locally, that you can download for free from here.
Once installed on your laptop, you can use the ollama command line tool, to download starcoder2:instructs (15B parameters)

As you start coding, StarCoder2 will keep on generating suggestions, that will increase your speed.
You can also highlight code, press Comand + L, and ask questions to your assistant.
Let's keep the conversation going!
