Show HN: Tabby – AI Coding Assistant Runs on Apple M1/M2 GPU

Hi HN, after five months of hard work since Tabby's previous Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35470915), I'm thrilled to share you the release of Tabby v0.1.1. Previously, Tabby ran exclusively on CUDA devices, posing a significant barrier for developers looking to effectively utilize LLMs in their day-to-day coding. The Tabby team made a significant contribution by enhancing support for the StarCoder series models (1B/3B/7B) in llama.cpp. This enhancement allows these models to run on Metal, providing comparable performance to that of an NVIDIA GPU. I eagerly look forward to receiving feedback from the community and witnessing the enhanced on-edge deployment experience!

Show HN: Tabby – A self-hosted GitHub Copilot

I would like to introduce Tabby, which is a self-hosted alternative to GitHub Copilot that you can integrate into your hardware. While GitHub Copilot has made coding more efficient and less time-consuming by assisting developers with suggestions and completing code, it raises concerns around privacy and security. Tabby is in its early stages, and we are excited to receive feedback from the community. Its Github repository is located here: https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby. We have also deployed the latest docker image to Huggingface for a live demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/TabbyML/tabby. Tabby is built on top of the popular Hugging Face Transformers / Triton FasterTransformer backend and is designed to be self-hosted, providing you with complete control over your data and privacy. In Tabby's next feature iteration, you can fine-tune

That‘ll be super interesting! Local context is definitely the key factor for small models achieving better quality than copilot (related: [1], [2]) . One things I’d really wanna have in Sourcegraph: A Search API supports custom retrieval / ranking. Research works (e.g [2]) show simple BoW fetched context is more efficient for code completion tasks. Disclaimer: I’m building https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby an open source alternative of copilot.

In Open Sourcing Cody – Sourcegraph's AI-enabled editor assistant
Cody is more like a wrapper on top of GPT API (gpt-3.5-turbo) endpoint, with related code snippets embed in prompt. It’s not competing the low latency scenario that Github Copilot seats in. There’re recent works show a potential of beating Copilot’s performance (e.g https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.12570) with much smaller models (500M vs 10B+). Inspired by these work, I’m building Tabby (https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby), a OSS GitHub Copilot alternative. Hopefully it could make low cost AI coding accessible to everyone.
