Full review
Tabby is an open-source, self-hosted AI coding assistant written in Rust that runs entirely within your own infrastructure, offering completion, an answer engine, and inline chat across 12+ IDEs.
It is ideal for organizations prioritizing data privacy and compliance. The trade-off is the operational work of hosting and tuning models, but for teams that cannot send code to the cloud it is a leading option.
