## What it is
Llama Coder is a self-hosted GitHub Copilot replacement implemented as a VS Code extension. It uses Ollama running CodeLlama or Stable Code models on your own hardware to provide local AI code autocomplete.

## Use cases
- replace github copilot with a local ai autocomplete
- self-hosted code completion in vs code
- run code llama autocomplete on my own gpu
- offline ai code suggestions without telemetry
- offload llm code completion to a dedicated gpu machine
- private ai pair programming on apple silicon

## When to choose
- you want code completion without sending code to the cloud
- you have a capable GPU (Apple Silicon or RTX 30xx/40xx) or a dedicated inference machine
- you use VS Code and want a free Copilot alternative
- privacy and no telemetry are requirements

## When to avoid
- you lack the recommended hardware (16GB+ RAM, decent GPU)
- you want multi-model support beyond CodeLlama/Stable Code
- you prefer managed cloud assistants with broader IDE support
- you need the most cutting-edge completion quality of commercial tools
