the company i work for and actually most Swiss IT contractors have harsh rules, and more than half of our projects, we aren't allowed to use Github Copilot or pasting stuff to any LLM API.

For that matter I built a vLLM based local GPU machine for our dev squads as a trial. Currently using a 4070Ti Super with 16GB Vram and upgrading to 4x 4070Ti Super to support 70b models.

The difficulties we face IMHO:

- Cursor doesn't support WSL Devcontainers

- Small Tab-Complete models are more important, and there's less going on for those

- There's a huge gap between 7-14b and 120b models, not a lot of 70b models available

In reality, on 7-14b nothing beats Qwen2.5 for interactive coding and something around 2b for tab-completion

If it works for you, devcontainers now work under Linux w/ docker.
