Void is an open-source AI code editor built on VS Code that lets teams point the AI layer at local or self-hosted models instead of a single proprietary backend.
Typical install for TypeScript projects; check the repository for the exact package name.
Void is a fork of VS Code that keeps the familiar editor surface and swaps the
AI layer for one you control. Instead of routing code to a single hosted
provider, teams can aim Void at local or self-hosted models.
What problem it solves
AI coding assistants are increasingly central to how developers work, but many
ship as closed, single-vendor services. Void answers the teams who need that
help without sending source to a backend they cannot inspect.
When it fits, and when it does not
It suits organisations with strict data-handling rules or a preference for
local models. If you have no constraints on hosted AI and want the smoothest
managed experience, a first-party assistant may be less setup.
