I'm a hobbyist programmer looking to start using AI tools to increase my productivity, but I'm not sure what I could use without giving all my data away.
I tried running some local models (Deepseek R1, Qwen 3B coder, etc.) but honestly they are not very good. If I want to use better tools like any of Google's models or OpenAI's models then I'm giving all my info away for them to train their shit on and store forever. Which is something I don't want.
Is there anything that doesn't suck but still has relatively good privacy? Anything you guys recommend to use / look into? Please give me some recommendations.

Sorry if I offended anyone by asking this.
