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.
Built for private code model hosting — dedicated GPU hardware, not shared inference queues.
Supported Code Models
Deploy the most capable open-weight coding models. Compatibility depends on GPU VRAM, quantisation, and framework support.
Most open-weight coding models supported by Ollama, vLLM, Hugging Face Transformers, or llama.cpp are deployable. Compatibility depends on VRAM, quantisation, and framework support.
Best GPUs for Code Model Hosting
Recommended configurations for private coding assistants, code completion APIs, and agentic workflows.
16GB comfortably fits Qwen2.5-Coder 7B, StarCoder2 15B at Q4, or Code Llama 13B. Ideal for individual developers or small teams running a private coding assistant during development.
24GB runs Qwen2.5-Coder 32B at Q4, Codestral 22B, or Code Llama 34B at Q4. The sweet spot for most production code assistant hosting workloads with excellent throughput-to-cost.
Blackwell 2.0 delivers the fastest single-GPU inference for production code completion APIs. 32GB GDDR7 handles Qwen2.5-Coder 32B at Q4 with headroom, or Code Llama 70B at Q2 — ideal for low-latency IDE integrations serving multiple developers.
RDNA 4 architecture with 32GB and 644 GB/s bandwidth — a competitive alternative for teams comfortable with ROCm or needing 32GB VRAM at a lower price point than the RTX 5090.
Which GPU Do I Need for Code Models?
Answer three quick questions and we’ll recommend the right server for your coding workload.

Token throughput figures are rough estimates under single-user, single-GPU conditions at Q4_K_M quantisation. Real-world performance varies significantly with concurrent requests, context length, cooling, and configuration. See benchmark methodology →
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.

Why Host Code Models Instead of Using APIs?
Self-hosted coding models on dedicated GPU hardware vs per-token API services — here's how they compare for code generation workloads.

Source Code Privacy Matters
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.

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
From order to running code completions in under 30 minutes.
Choose Your GPU
Pick the GPU that fits your code model size, team concurrency needs, and budget. Select your OS (Ubuntu 22/24, Debian, Windows) and NVMe storage.
Server Provisioned
Your dedicated GPU server is provisioned and you receive SSH or RDP credentials. Typical deployment time is under one hour.
Install Runtime

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