I have been using github copilot for a while now, but when I first tested these, together with the code AI offering from Amazon, they were... kinda useless. Only after a few updates did it get to a point that was a net positive in my daily work. And I still occasionally check the local models, and they're still not on a level in their auto-complete capabilities that I'd like to use, at least last time I checked. But I work with other LLMs and the recent advances in speed and the stricter nature of code means that soon-ish we should have a good and fast local model, we're just not there yet.

Okay so maybe 5% of developers who use desktop will be willing to fork out on a GPU and go thru process of setting up something that costs $10 otherwise...

I'm sure there are all sort of companies with very strict isolation requirements. But your typical enterprise will run your code editor in cloud VDI, host on atlassian, deploy using atlassian, deploy on some other cloud provider and be developed by double outsourced junior developer who's got warezd windows licence. I fail to see how adding another party who says they explicitly don't collect your data will make any difference.
