Verified
Self-hosted coding assistant you run like an internal service.
Tabby is an open-source, self-hosted AI coding assistant. You deploy the server, point IDE clients at it, and attach the models you are allowed to run. It is a completion and chat service, not an autonomous worker.

Editorial take
Tabby is the self-hosted Copilot substitute, not a factory. It belongs here because air-gapped execution still needs a completion endpoint. If you need an agent loop, put Aider or OpenHands in front of the same models.
Strengths
- Apache-2.0 server you can run on your metal.
- IDE clients talk to your endpoint, not a vendor SaaS.
- Model choice is yours.
Limitations
- Completions/chat, not issue-to-PR.
- You own GPUs, upgrades, and authn.
- Not a sandbox.
