Local coding assistant for a proprietary codebase

A developer running Kimi K2.7 Code locally against a private repository reports that local AI coding assistance for autocomplete, refactors, and code review is the most common local-AI use case discussed in communities such as r/LocalLLaMA and r/ollama, driven by developers who want Copilot-style help without sending company code to a third-party API. The setup connects the model to an editor through an OpenAI-compatible local server such as Ollama or llama.cpp, and the developer says latency and quality are close enough to cloud coding assistants for day-to-day work.

Local coding assistant for a proprietary codebase company code can't touch third-party APIs cdnsteve I run Kimi K2.7 Code locally against our private repo for autocomplete, refactors and code review so proprietary source never leaves the machine. It's the single most common local-AI use case I see mentioned in the community r/LocalLLaMA, r/ollama - devs want Copilot-style help without sending company code to a third-party API. Works great once you wire it into your editor via an OpenAI-compatible local server Ollama/llama.cpp ; latency and quality are close enough to cloud coding assistants for day-to-day work.
