I saw a post by github on linkedin about how they are working on starting to charge for use of github copilot. I have been using this everyday for a while just for simple inline suggestions in zed. I decided to stop that and try using a local LLM instead. I pulled qwen2.5-coder:1b model with ollama and set it up. It seems a lot more aggressive with its suggestions and less intuitive so far. I have only been using it for a day so maybe it will get better.
