Deepseek running locally and privately for autocompletion in VSCode! 🙌

In less than a minute, I'll show you how to download Deepseek-coder and set it as the autocompletion model in VSCode.

You’ll need to use @ollama to download the model and CodeGPT to select it as the autocompletion model.

Enjoy the best models running locally with https://t.co/2TwiyF71HB :)
