LocalLLaMA asks for local Copilot in VS Code

A Reddit user asks how to get local, Copilot-like inline completions in VS Code while already using Continue chat with Qwen3 Coder Next. Replies suggest that inline completion needs faster autocomplete-oriented models and point to setups using Continue with local backends plus coder-focused models like DeepSeek Coder or CodeQwen.

// ANALYSIS

The post highlights a real gap in local AI coding stacks: chat quality is strong, but low-latency inline completion still takes careful model and tooling choices.

–Developers increasingly want hybrid workflows: local inference for privacy plus Copilot-like UX for speed.
–Community guidance leans toward smaller, non-thinking coder models for tab completion rather than heavy reasoning models.
–Continue remains a central open-source option, but configuration friction is still a blocker for mainstream local-first adoption.
