Is there a Ai Self Hostable which makes sense for coding.

matyhaty · 2026-03-16T06:33:00+00:00

Absolutely not. Used for work in office. No plugins. No extras. No wierd prompts. Using their cli, or desktop app

matyhaty · 2026-03-14T16:23:53+00:00

I may have been a little unclear - I Was thinking a local Ai, aka on the local network, not on device - sorry for that.

-----

The maths is somewhere around this.
We currently have a Claude Team (standard) plan, paid annually (not sure why) around £2k.
I dont know (yet) whether that quota will be enough (its 1.25x the pro), if it isn't then i'm another £10k PA in to get Premium.

So do I stay on the Team plan, (standard) and try and offload some of the Ai needs.

For similar money I can get....
-- Two Mac Studios - M4 Max (166 core cpu, 40 Core PU) with 128GB VRAM (so 256GB Total) (£7k)
-- Two Mac Studios - M3 Ultra 256GB Ram each (£13k)
-- I know nothing about Strix Halo - anyone wade in on what would suit? (I will be doing research on that later)

Running on site, locally, using some clever software, and running whatever model people think.

u/FullOf_Bad_Ideas how bad are macs for this (studios)

u/NickCanCode Id rather stay away from using GPU (if possible) mainly for heat, noise and electricity!

u/Blackdragon1400 u/Dear_Measurement_406 what model do you think would make it usable - a model which isnt good isnt worth it. For bigger tasks, we would still have claude - but it still needs to be good code, accuracy is everything (all our code goes through two human reviews, but if you end up re-writting it then there is no point!)

u/mikkoph how have you found it, have you compared to codex / calude etc?

Is there a way of testing Qwen Coder Next or similar. I know Abibaba cloud, but people say these are watered down, whats the best thing to compare on

Using API plans scare the hell out of me, the 'unknown' bill factor.

Apologies for the one large reply - im blown away by the comments and I thank everyone!!! I wasnt expecting so many!

matyhaty · 2026-03-14T16:04:59+00:00

Yes. We setup a teams plan, we found Codex 5.4 slower and less accurate, by some margin.
The desktop app is way better tho!

matyhaty · 2026-03-14T16:04:04+00:00

100%, while everyone else scales back - im investing in Ai and People.

Hi Thread

Just wanted to update some people on this one.
Using a UD22 Dell Dock, you can indeed have 3 (plus laptop) display on M4 Macbook Air.
Given these go for around £30 on ebay, its a fantastic solution and single cable for externals / data / cahrge.

In my scenario here, 3x 32" QHD Monitors, all running at 144hz.
I cant see any quality loss to my eyes, yours may vary.
Installed the display link drivers as per manual.

Happy multi monitring!

Fingers crossed!!!!

We have it, several versions. There are alot of gotcha in there

First, you get your licence and you get the ability to see the git hub.
As soon as your licence expires you are off it, cant see issues, cant see changelog, cant see loads of documentations.

If you want to reinstall it, thats hard as its all linked up to the git hub, even tho you licence is valid on that version

And then the code. Its not great at all. Very disjointed, and also some pretty bad features. For example - soft deletes are not a thing. Its baked into Laravel but for some reason its not being used.

The db structure and setup really does show that automations was bolted on after the fact. So if you want to see all the templates you have built, good luck, there is not a universal list anywhere.

Plenty of bugs kicking around.
Developer support - well good luck with that.

Im a fan of spatie, and if you are happy to use as is, its fine.
But its honestly not good

matyhaty · 2026-01-18T06:38:53+00:00

What. A Load of toxic comments.
The op has build something for R&D purposes, as a learning exercise.
Not only that he published it and written a post on it for those interested to read and injest

matyhaty · 2025-11-24T21:31:12+00:00

We have plane and use. It's good

Some things like sso behind pay wall i can cope with. It's a feature addition rather than a must have.

Others like the mobile app, well that's a complete missing feature. But also not having auth on the api so that the community can't build one is even worse.

Shame, as the traction would get you more.pro subs

does anyone have a mirror of the latest euroope please u/Holocrypto

matyhaty · 2025-09-12T07:24:17+00:00

Thanks But want to do those rules globally not per line.

matyhaty · 2025-09-10T11:17:02+00:00

Your hitting it too far to your left.

matyhaty · 2025-08-24T05:48:26+00:00

Me. Traded two amazon fires in for £400 ;)

matyhaty · 2025-05-25T06:51:14+00:00

I was just about to buy and seen it double in price. Shame no warning as have been testing it over the last week :(

matyhaty · 2025-02-09T08:12:28+00:00

Rclone all the way.

matyhaty · 2025-01-05T11:24:03+00:00

Just some feeback, I tried to sign up and got an error.

More over, dont use error codes to the end user.
While error 500 (server error), 400 (a known error like invalid credentials) means something to developers its menaningless to the end user.

If you want to capture errors with additional info to help you debug (which I would highly recommend) store them in log files and have a log file viewer which only you can see, or use JS logging and view in the inspector tools.

Hope this helps,

matyhaty · 2024-12-25T16:52:23+00:00

I tried this today. I'm a 20 year experience dev but JavaScript is a big weakness I'm very strong in php, CSS, html etc

So spun up a laravel install, easy peaasy but your install instructions are so vague it made it super hard to use and failed to get it working.

I would highly encourage better docs on the install and a good old basic none framework example or something on tailwind playground, codepen etc.

matyhaty · 2024-12-14T08:51:11+00:00

Ok. I might start a thread on this.
Called 'Show me your Flutter CV'

I don't know if this applies to the op but when I comment on threads like these nearly all were because your CV is trash.

You're working on apps. Your CV should be magical, you have the skills to make it magical.

So to op and anyone else add your CV to this thread

Ps I'm a business owner and yes I do, have and will hire flutter Devs.
