Why we included this project

Privy is a VS Code extension that brings Copilot-style autocomplete and code chat to your own machine, without shipping source code off to a cloud service. It works with a local model runtime such as Ollama, so both the completions and the side-panel chat run on hardware you control. You pick which model to run and how large it is, which is the point: you give up a bit of setup convenience and gain privacy, offline use, and full control over what touches your code. The real cost is compute. You need a working inference backend and a GPU with enough VRAM for suggestions to feel worthwhile.
