Code Model Hosting

Host Open Source Coding Models on Dedicated UK GPU Servers

Run DeepSeek Coder, Qwen2.5-Coder, Code Llama, StarCoder2, and Codestral on your own bare metal GPU server. Build private code completion APIs, IDE copilots, and agentic coding workflows — fixed monthly pricing, no per-token fees.

What is Code Model Hosting?

Code model hosting means running open-weight code generation and code completion models — such as DeepSeek Coder, Qwen2.5-Coder, Code Llama, or StarCoder2 — on your own dedicated GPU server instead of paying per-token fees to a third-party API provider.

With GigaGPU’s dedicated GPU servers you get the full GPU card, NVMe-backed storage, and a UK-based bare metal environment. Deploy via vLLM, Ollama, or Hugging Face Transformers and expose an OpenAI-compatible API for your IDE, coding agent, or internal developer tools — no shared resources, no usage caps, no source code leaving your infrastructure.

Self-hosted coding models are ideal for teams building private AI coding assistants, running code review and test generation pipelines, powering agentic workflows with tools like Aider or Continue, or embedding code generation into SaaS products — especially when sustained usage makes per-token or per-seat pricing expensive.

How Much Can You Save vs Coding API Providers?

For teams with sustained usage, a flat-rate dedicated GPU server is often significantly cheaper than per-token or per-seat pricing for coding APIs.

Per-Token / Per-Seat Pricing

Costs scale with every developer and every request
GitHub Copilot Business~$19/user/mo
OpenAI GPT-4o (code tasks)~$15 / 1M tokens
Claude Sonnet (code tasks)~$3 / 1M tokens

RTX 4060 Ti · Qwen2.5-Coder 7BFixed/mo
RTX 5090 · Codestral 22BFixed/mo
10 devs × heavy usageSame flat rate

Example: 10-Developer Team

Per-seat route: 10 developers × $19/user/month for a hosted copilot = $190/month — and that's a basic tier. Heavier API usage for code review, test generation, or agentic pipelines adds per-token costs on top.
Self-hosted route: A dedicated RTX 3090 running Qwen2.5-Coder 32B at Q4 serves the same team with unlimited completions at a fixed monthly cost — no per-seat or per-token charges regardless of how much they use it.
Privacy bonus: Your source code never leaves your server. No third-party data processing agreements needed for your proprietary codebase.

Cost estimates are indicative based on publicly listed pricing at time of writing. Actual savings depend on team size, usage patterns, and the specific API or plan used. GPU server prices retrieved live from the GigaGPU portal.

Source Code Privacy Matters

API route: Every code completion sends your source code, context, and repo structure to a third-party server. For proprietary codebases, regulated industries, or security-sensitive projects, this creates compliance and IP risk.
Self-hosted route: Your code stays on your own private GPU server. No data leaves your infrastructure — ideal for financial services, defence, healthcare, and any team that treats source code as confidential.

Self-hosting is particularly advantageous for coding workloads because the data involved — source code, repository context, internal APIs — is often the most sensitive intellectual property a company owns.

Methodology note: these are practical reference ranges for self-hosted coding inference rather than marketing peak numbers. Figures assume a single active model instance, typical 4-bit or similar deployment settings where appropriate, short-to-medium code prompts, and API-style generation rather than synthetic maximum throughput. Actual results vary with prompt length, context window, quantisation, runtime choice, batch size, tokenizer overhead and the framework you use for serving. For example, an IDE completion endpoint via vLLM or Ollama behaves differently from a heavier repo-aware agent using retrieval, tools and longer file context. The important commercial point is relative fit: lighter GPUs suit dev and internal copilots, while RTX 3090 and RTX 5090 class servers are better for sustained production coding APIs.

Code Model Hosting Use Cases

From private IDE copilots to automated code review pipelines — dedicated GPU servers power every coding AI workload.

Private AI Coding Assistants

Run a self-hosted alternative to GitHub Copilot for your team. Deploy Qwen2.5-Coder or Codestral behind an OpenAI-compatible API and connect it to Continue, Cline, or any IDE plugin — unlimited completions, zero per-seat fees. See our AI coding assistant hosting guide.

IDE Code Completion APIs

Expose a fast code completion endpoint for VS Code, JetBrains, or Neovim. Self-hosted code models deliver consistent sub-second latency without shared-queue variability — critical for keeping developers in flow.

Internal Developer Copilots

Build a repo-aware coding assistant that understands your internal APIs, conventions, and codebase structure. Combine a self-hosted code model with RAG and LangChain or LlamaIndex for context-aware responses.

Automated Test Generation

Point a code model at your source files and generate unit tests, integration tests, and edge case coverage automatically. Self-hosting means you can process entire repos without per-token cost concerns.

Code Review & Refactoring

Automate pull request reviews, detect code smells, and suggest refactoring improvements. Run code models against diffs in CI/CD pipelines at a fixed cost — no matter how many PRs your team opens.

Agentic Coding Workflows

Power SWE-agent, OpenHands, or custom agentic coding tools with a self-hosted code model backend. Agentic workflows involve many sequential model calls — fixed pricing makes them economically viable at scale.

Ticket-to-Code & Spec-to-Code

Build pipelines that take JIRA tickets, GitHub issues, or product specs and generate initial code implementations. Ideal for internal tooling teams looking to accelerate development velocity.

Secure Coding for Regulated Industries

Financial services, healthcare, defence, and legal teams can run private AI coding assistants without sending source code to external providers. UK-based servers support data residency requirements.

Embedded Coding AI in SaaS

Integrate code generation into your own product — online IDEs, developer platforms, learning tools, or no-code builders. Self-hosted models via API hosting let you offer coding AI features without per-user API costs eating your margins.

Aider / Roo Code / Open Interpreter

Tools like Aider, Roo Code, and Open Interpreter work best with a private, fast model backend. Self-hosting eliminates rate limits and gives you full control over which model powers your terminal-based coding assistant.

Compatible Frameworks & Tools

Full root access — install any framework, runtime, or IDE integration in minutes.

Deploy a Code Model in 5 Steps

04

Expose API Endpoint

Configure an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint via Ollama or vLLM. Set up Nginx or Caddy for TLS if needed. Point your IDE plugin, Aider, or internal tooling at your server.

05

Code & Scale

Start generating code — unlimited tokens, zero per-call fees. Scale to additional GPUs later if your team grows or throughput demands increase.

Code Model Hosting — Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about self-hosting coding models on dedicated GPU hardware.

Code model hosting means running an open-weight code generation or code completion model — such as DeepSeek Coder, Qwen2.5-Coder, Code Llama, StarCoder2, or Codestral — on your own dedicated GPU server. Instead of paying per-token or per-seat fees to a third-party API, you get unlimited inference at a flat monthly cost with full control over your data.
Yes. Open-weight coding models like Qwen2.5-Coder, DeepSeek Coder, Code Llama, and StarCoder2 can be self-hosted on any GPU server with sufficient VRAM. Install Ollama or vLLM, pull the model, and you have a running code generation endpoint in minutes.
DeepSeek Coder comes in several sizes. The 6.7B variant runs well on 8–16GB GPUs like the RTX 4060 Ti. The 33B variant at Q4 fits on 24GB (RTX 3090). DeepSeek Coder V2 is a 236B MoE model that requires 32GB+ at aggressive quantisation. Check the model card on Hugging Face for specific VRAM requirements.
Qwen2.5-Coder 7B runs comfortably on 8–16GB GPUs. Qwen2.5-Coder 32B at Q4_K_M fits well on 24GB (RTX 3090) or 32GB (RTX 5090, R9700). For production workloads with multiple concurrent users, we recommend 24GB+ for 7B models and 32GB+ for 32B models to maintain fast response times.
Absolutely. Deploy a code model on your GigaGPU server, expose an OpenAI-compatible API, and connect it to IDE plugins like Continue, Cline, or TabbyML. Your entire team can use it for code completion, chat-based assistance, and code review — with no per-seat licensing and no source code leaving your infrastructure. See our AI coding assistant hosting page for more.
For sustained usage, typically yes. A team of developers generating thousands of completions per day can quickly exceed the cost of a dedicated GPU server when paying per-token. The break-even depends on your team size, usage volume, and the specific API you'd otherwise use. Use our cost calculator above to estimate your scenario.
Yes. Extensions like Continue and Cline connect to any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint. Both Ollama and vLLM expose this format by default. Point the extension at your server's IP and port, and you'll get code completions and chat assistance directly in VS Code — all powered by your own private model.
Yes. Aider supports any OpenAI-compatible API via the --openai-api-base flag. Continue supports custom API endpoints in its configuration. Roo Code and Open Interpreter also work with OpenAI-compatible backends. Your self-hosted model plugs in seamlessly.
Yes — this is one of the main advantages. With a self-hosted code model, your source code never leaves your server. You can process private repos, internal APIs, and proprietary code without any data being sent to a third party. This is critical for regulated industries, IP-sensitive projects, and security-conscious teams.
For teams building internal dev tools — code review bots, test generators, spec-to-code pipelines — self-hosted models are typically more cost-effective and more flexible than API-based alternatives. You control the model, the context, and the deployment without dependency on external services or usage-based billing.
For most teams, the RTX 3090 (24GB) offers the best value — it runs Qwen2.5-Coder 32B at Q4 or Codestral 22B with strong throughput. For production with low latency requirements, the RTX 5090 (32GB) is the top choice. For a budget dev setup, the RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) handles 7B code models well. Use the quiz tool above for a personalised recommendation.
Yes. Agentic coding frameworks like SWE-agent, OpenHands, and custom agent loops work well with self-hosted code models. These workflows involve many sequential inference calls — fixed-cost GPU hosting makes them economically viable compared to per-token APIs where costs can spiral quickly.
Ollama is the simplest option — one-command install, built-in model management, and an OpenAI-compatible API out of the box. vLLM offers higher throughput for production workloads with features like continuous batching. Hugging Face Transformers provides the most flexibility for custom inference pipelines. All three are fully supported on GigaGPU servers.
Yes. Both Ollama and vLLM expose a REST API compatible with the OpenAI format (/v1/chat/completions). You can point any existing OpenAI SDK, IDE extension, or internal tool at your server's IP and it will work without code changes — making migration from closed-source APIs straightforward.
Yes — all of these models are supported through Ollama, vLLM, and Hugging Face Transformers. Compatibility depends on available VRAM and quantisation choice. You have full root access to install any framework and pull any model from Hugging Face or Ollama's model library.
Yes. Start with a single GPU server and add more as your team or traffic grows. You can run multiple inference servers behind a load balancer, or deploy different models on different servers (e.g. a fast 7B for completions and a larger 32B for chat-based assistance).
