They give you the option to use your own OpenAI/Anthropic/Azure API keys, but in all honesty, I don't know if they still gather information about your code even using your own API keys.

You could use something like Little Snitch (on Mac) to check if it makes any calls to their servers.

They also allow you to override the URL for the OpenAI models, so although I haven't tried, perhaps you can use local models on your own machine.



Unfortunately, it looks like code still goes via their servers:

Ah, that's unfortunate.
