any good github copilot alternatives? (quex.cc)

Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I'm using VSCode but not wedded to it.

Tabnine is pretty good and has a free tier.

thanks, yes - looks like a free entry point for autocomplete - the 'pro' tier is probably similar to copilot, by the looks of things - about the same price too.

This project seemed promising from the initial description:

https://github.com/CodedotAl/gpt-code-clippy/

but looking at the issues and history, it doesn't seem to be all that promising practically, so presumably avoiding corporate AI is not easy (yet).
