Selfhosted coding assistant? (midwest.social)

I'd like to set up a local coding assistant so that I can stop using Google to ask complex questions to for search results.

I really don't know what I'm doing or if there's anything that's available that respects privacy. I don't necessarily trust search results for this kind of query either.

I want to run it on my desktop, Ryzen 7 5800xt + Radeon RX 6950xt + 32gb of RAM. I don't need or expect data center performance out of this thing. I'm also a strict Sublime user so I'd like to avoid VS Code suggestions as much as possible.

My coding laptop is an oooooold MacBook Air so I'd like something that can be ran on my desktop and used from my laptop if possible. No remote access needed, just to use from the same home network.

Something like LM Studio and Qwen sounds like it's what I'm looking for, but since I'm unfamiliar with what exists I figured I would ask for Lemmy's opinion.

Is LM Studio + Qwen a good combo for my needs? Are there alternatives?

I'm on Lemmy Connect and can't see comments from other instances when I'm logged in, but to whomever melted down from this question your relief is in my very first sentence:

to ask complex questions to for search results.

I have heard good things about LM Studio from several professional coders and tinkers alike. Not tried it myself yet though, but I might have to bite the bullet because I can't seem to get ollama to perform how I want.

TabbyML is another thing to try.

Thanks for the reply!

I had noticed TabbyML but something about their wording made me rethink and then the next day I saw a post on here regarding the same phrasing, I decided to leave it alone after that

Yeah I tried tabby too and they had like a mandatory "we share your code " line and I hoped out. Like if you're going to do that I might as well just use claude
