Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I’m using VSCode but not wedded to it.
Jetbrains Fleet is about to roll out their own AI assistant and it looks very promising.

Me too I use Rider and I really like how they put the emphasis on the “integrated” part of “IDE”.
Having that said, Fleet looks pretty good and I’m excitedly waiting for it a stable release.
Fairly skeptical about Jetbrains’ Model, so it’s basically a wait and see.
from the FAQ:
How much will AI Assistant cost in JetBrains IDEs? The AI assistant is currently free to use during the preview phase. We’ll be providing the licensing and pricing model at a later date.
It looks as though it would be similar to github - they host the model and you pay a subscription for real time access while you’re coding.
Still, I’d feel ideologically more at peace paying Jetbrains for IDE-as-a-service than I do slinging github a hundred smackers just to use their model from somebody else’s IDE.
A public / open source solution would be ideal.
I know, just not sure the quality it offers and I am 99% sure that they train it on the piles which is a huge nearly 1 petabyte dataset that includes GitHub code. They are likely doing the same thing GitHub did when training copilot.
