What Hacker News says

People in government agencies, defence and aerospace companies write code in airgapped environments every day. Essentials like version control, CI/CD and artifact repositories are readily available, as they always have been. Gitlab, Artifactory etc all run just fine. The problem you'll face with LLM assistants is they require very substantial hardware. I don't know how well that's going to fit your laptop-in-the-middle-of-nowhere use case, but there are projects floating around. https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby
In Ask HN: Air-Gapped Dev Environment?
As someone unfamiliar with local AIs and eager to try, how does the “run tabby in 1 minute”[1] compare to e.g. chatgpt’s free 4o-mini? Can I run that docker command on a medium specced macbook pro and have an AI that is comparably fast and capable? Or are we not there (yet)? Edit: looks like there is a separate page with instructions for macbooks[2] that has more context. > The compute power of M1/M2 is limited and is likely to be sufficient only for individual usage. If you require a shared instance for a team, we recommend considering Docker hosting with CUDA or ROCm.
