Decision brief
FauxPilot is an open-source alternative to GitHub Copilot, designed for local hosting and leveraging SalesForce CodeGen models with NVIDIA's Triton Inference Server and FasterTransformer backend.
Good fit when
- When you need an open-source alternative to GitHub Copilot that can be hosted locally.
- If you have access to an NVIDIA GPU with Compute Capability >= 6.0 and sufficient VRAM to run the desired model.
Avoid when
- If you do not have access to an NVIDIA GPU with the required Compute Capability and VRAM.
- When formal support and warranty are necessary, as FauxPilot does not offer these.
- Pricing:
- freemium - FauxPilot is open-source under the MIT license, free to use, but users must provide their own hardware and manage the setup.
- Requirements:
- Requires Docker; Requires Docker and `docker compose` version 1.28 or higher.; An NVIDIA GPU with Compute Capability >= 6.0 and enough VRAM to run the chosen model is required.; The setup script downloads models from Huggingface/Moyix in GPT-J format and converts them for use with FasterTransformer.
