🆓 FREE LOCAL AI — No API key. No subscription. No data sent to the cloud. Run powerful coding models directly on your machine using Ollama, LM Studio, or llama.cpp. Qwen3 Coder is pre-configured and ready to use out of the box.


Features

FREE Local AI — Run Models on Your Machine

Use state-of-the-art coding models completely free, with full privacy. FinAI integrates natively with Ollama, LM Studio, and llama.cpp — no API key required, no usage limits, no data leaving your device. Qwen3 Coder is pre-configured as the default model and works immediately after installing Ollama.

Supported local runtimes:

  • Ollama — one-command model downloads, runs as a local server
  • LM Studio — GUI-based model management with OpenAI-compatible API
  • llama.cpp — maximum performance, minimal footprint

Sidebar Integration

FinAI Code Assistant lives in the VS Code activity bar alongside other AI coding tools — click the icon to open the chat panel directly in your editor, with full access to your code context.
