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.

Thanks for taking the time to respond - it sounds like an interesting research project. This indeed looks like the ideal long-term solution, where the model is hosted locally and no code is sent to the internet while it's under development. I'll take a closer look at this - thanks again.
