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...
