Privacy-Preserving Local LLM Inference for Developer Tooling

The Problem

The proliferation of large language models (LLMs) in developer tooling has introduced significant privacy and security concerns, particularly when code---often containing proprietary algorithms, credentials, and business logic---is transmitted to remote inference servers. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of privacy-preserving techniques for local LLM inference in the context of terminal-native AI coding engines, with specific application to the ANTIKODE architecture.
