Show HN: TurboPilot: Copilot clone runs code completion LLM on your CPU (github.com)

Hi HN,

I spent my easter weekend stuck in the house with COVID and I decided to play with llama.cpp [1] and fauxpilot [2] to see if I could get LLM code assist working on pure CPU.

As a proof of concept I'd say I've proven that it's possible. However there's still a lot to do. The auto complete is quite slow at the moment. PRs welcome.

Nice, but "Tabby requires Pascal or newer NVIDIA GPU."

As I understand the whole point of TurboPilot is it runs on CPU :D

Tabby infers on the gpu and is slow, I can only imagine how slow truepilot is on the cpu.

If people want auto complete, it needs to be super fast. For slow inference, a better application would be a chatbot that reads your code and answers questions, like cody from sourcegraph.
