Tabby

Tabby is a self-hosted AI coding assistant positioned as an on-premises alternative to GitHub Copilot. Written in Rust and fully self-contained, it needs no external database or cloud service: teams run it via Docker on their own hardware, keeping code and prompts entirely private. It serves open code models such as StarCoder, CodeGemma, Qwen coder variants, and Codestral on consumer-grade GPUs, with Metal acceleration on Apple Silicon. Beyond inline completion in VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and Vim, Tabby includes an Answer Engine chat that grounds responses in connected GitHub or GitLab repositories and documentation through built-in retrieval, plus a code browser and team analytics for tracking usage. An OpenAPI interface allows integration with existing infrastructure. Released under the Apache 2.0 license, it is adopted by enterprises with data residency requirements and by individual developers who prefer local, privacy-preserving code assistance over cloud services.
