+
+  We can not just use hosted versions of coding assistants because of privacy and copyright issues.
+  We can however use self-hosted coding assistants provided they are trained on data with permissive licenses.
+
+  StarCoder (1-7B) models are all trained on version 1.2 of
+  [The Stack](https://www.bigcode-project.org/docs/about/the-stack/) dataset.
+  It boils down to all open GitHub code with permissive licenses (193 licenses in total). Minus opt-out requests.
+
+  Code Lama and Deepseek models are not clear enough about their data licenses.
+
+    ```shell
+    brew install tabbyml/tabby/tabby
+    tabby serve --device metal --model TabbyML/StarCoder-3B
+    ```
+
+  Then configure your IDE by [installing a plugin](https://tabby.tabbyml.com/docs/extensions/installation/).
