## Introduction
Tabnine is an AI code completion tool that uses deep learning models trained on open-source code to provide intelligent inline suggestions. It supports both cloud-hosted and local models, giving teams flexibility between performance and privacy.

## What Tabnine Does
- Provides real-time AI-powered code completions across 30+ languages
- Offers whole-line and multi-line completion suggestions
- Runs locally on-device or via cloud for faster inference
- Learns from your codebase patterns for personalized suggestions
- Integrates with VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, Emacs, and more

## Architecture Overview
Tabnine uses transformer-based language models that can run either on a cloud inference backend or locally on developer machines. The local model is optimized for CPU inference and requires no internet connection, while the cloud model provides higher-quality completions. A thin editor plugin captures context and communicates with the inference engine via a local binary.

## Self-Hosting & Configuration
- Install the editor plugin from your IDE marketplace
- Choose between cloud (default) or local model in settings
- For enterprise: self-hosted deployment supports air-gapped environments
- Configure completion trigger delay and suggestion length
- Team admins can manage allowed code sources for training

## Key Features
- Privacy-first local model option with no data leaving the machine
- Supports TypeScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust, C++, and 25+ more
- Context-aware completions that consider surrounding code and imports
- Team learning adapts to organizational coding patterns
- Works offline with the local inference engine

## Comparison with Similar Tools
- **GitHub Copilot** — Deeper integration with GitHub but requires cloud; Tabnine offers local-only mode
- **Cody (Sourcegraph)** — Stronger codebase search; Tabnine focuses on inline completions
- **Kite** — Discontinued; Tabnine remains actively maintained
- **Continue** — Open-source and model-agnostic; Tabnine is more polished out-of-box

## FAQ
**Q: Does Tabnine send my code to external servers?**
A: Only if you use cloud mode. The local model runs entirely on your machine with no network calls.

**Q: Which languages have the best completion quality?**
A: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, and Go have the strongest model coverage due to training data volume.

**Q: Can I use Tabnine with Neovim?**
A: Yes. Tabnine provides a dedicated Neovim plugin that integrates with the completion framework.

**Q: Is there a free tier?**
A: Yes. The free plan includes basic completions with the local model. Pro adds cloud models and team features.
