Any good self-hosted LLM for software development? (lemmy.fakeplastictrees.ee)

Hi,

I'm looking for something that could generate code and provide technical assistance on a level similar to ChatGPT4 or at least 3.5. I'm generally satisfied with it, but for privacy and security reasons I can't share some details and code listings with OpenAI. Hence, I'm looking for a self-hosted alternative.

Any recommendations? If nothing specific comes to mind, what parameters should I look at in my search? I've never worked with LLMs yet and there are so many of them. I just know that I could use oobabooga/text-generation-webui to access a model in a friendly way.

Thanks in advance.

There is a bit of a conundrum here: in order to run a model that is any good in coding you want it to have a lot of parameters (the more the better) but also since it’s code and not some spoken language - precision matters here. Home hardware like 3090 is able to run ~30b models, but there is a catch - it just fits and only in quantized form = with 4x worse precision typically. Unless we see some breakthrough here that makes inference of huge models possible at full precision - the hosted AI will always be better for coding. Not saying such breakthrough is impossible though - quite the opposite in my opinion.
