## What it is
FauxPilot is a self-hosted, open-source alternative to the GitHub Copilot code completion server. It serves SalesForce CodeGen models via NVIDIA's Triton Inference Server with the FasterTransformer backend and exposes an OpenAI/Copilot-compatible API.

## Use cases
- self-host a GitHub Copilot alternative for code completion
- serve code generation models locally on my own GPU
- point my editor's Copilot plugin at a private server
- run offline AI code suggestions without sending code to the cloud
- host an OpenAI-compatible completion API for code models

## When to choose
- you want private, on-premise code completion with no code leaving your network
- you have NVIDIA GPUs with sufficient VRAM and Docker
- you want an OpenAI/Copilot-compatible API you control

## When to avoid
- you lack an NVIDIA GPU or the VRAM for the models
- you want a polished, actively developed product with formal support
- you prefer managed cloud code assistants like GitHub Copilot
