What Hacker News says
7 sourcesI think lsp integration[0] can get you pretty far, but also if you use LLM features a la Copilot, I use ellama[1] for that. If there are other features you think you will miss, maybe I can ease your mind about those as well :)

In Modern IDEs are magic. Why still use Vim, Emacs? (2020)If you like Emacs (I use both Emacs and VSCode, for slightly different coding use cases), then the Emacs elamma [1]package is very nice. It is set up out of the box to use Ollama and to use M-x commands for code completion, summarization, and dozens of other useful functions. I love it, your mileage may vary.

In IBM Granite: A Family of Open Foundation Models for Code IntelligenceFor the Emacs user, maybe not exactly one-to-one, but useful:

In Aider: AI pair programming in your terminalhttps://github.com/s-kostyaev/ellama is active, as is https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama (which it calls for local LLM goodness).
In Emacs-copilot: Large language model code completion for EmacsAlso worth knowing about in this space is ellama: https://github.com/s-kostyaev/ellama which uses the LLM package: https://github.com/ahyatt/llm#ollama to talk to ollama, and while ellama doesn't currently support talking over the network to ollama it also doesn't look like that would be a hard thing to add (specifically there are host and port params the underlying function supports but ellama doesn't use).
In Emacs-copilot: Large language model code completion for EmacsMaybe ellama[1] would work? It doesn't support Phind yet, but a provider could be created for the underlying connection package llm[2].
