About tabby

Tabby is a self-hosted AI coding assistant that the project page describes as an open-source, on-premises alternative to GitHub Copilot. It is designed to be self-contained, so it does not require a separate database management system or cloud service, and the project states that it supports consumer-grade GPUs. An OpenAPI interface is provided for integrating it with existing infrastructure, such as a cloud IDE.

Development notes on the repository list later additions including an Answer Engine for questions grounded in internal engineering data, chat and code browser features in the editor client, repository-level context for code completion, LDAP authentication, team management and usage reports, and integrations such as GitLab SSO and self-hosted GitHub or GitLab. Pricing and license terms are not stated on the page, and the page does not describe data-handling or privacy practices.
