Twinny is a free, MIT-licensed Visual Studio Code extension providing AI code completion (fill-in-the-middle) and code chat, working with local Ollama/llama.cpp endpoints or hosted APIs like OpenAI and Anthropic. It includes workspace embeddings for context-aware assistance and a P2P 'Symmetry' network for sharing AI inference. The project has since been archived.

Use cases

• get free AI code completion in vscode without github copilot
• run code completion locally with ollama for privacy
• chat with an AI about my code inside the editor
• generate git commit messages automatically
• get refactoring and test suggestions from an LLM in vscode
• use workspace embeddings for context-aware AI coding help

When to choose

• you want a free, open-source Copilot alternative in VS Code
• you need offline/local AI completion via Ollama or llama.cpp
• you want code chat, commit message generation, and diff views in one extension

When to avoid

• you need actively maintained software - the project is archived
• you use an editor other than VS Code
• you need enterprise support or guaranteed updates
