I replaced VS Code's Copilot with a local LLM, and my offline coding got faster

Trong bối cảnh Copilot của VS Code chủ yếu dựa trên cloud, tác giả đã thử nghiệm sử dụng local LLM để hỗ trợ offline coding.

Hệ quả cho thấy tốc độ coding tăng lên đáng kể mà không làm giảm hiệu suất tổng thể. Điều đáng học là việc tối ưu hóa local AI có thể mang lại lợi thế về tốc độ và bảo mật cho lập trình viên khi làm việc trên các dự án cần offline mode.
