Actually, a project called Fauxpilot came out a couple of weeks ago and seems to be gaining steam.

There's a couple of other ones I didn't list out because they were Python-specific. Does this have broad language support?

It appears so:

[7] codegen-16B-mono (32GB total VRAM required; Python-only)

[8] codegen-16B-multi (32GB total VRAM required; multi-language)

I laughed at that too, but keeping in mind the MIT license clause in all caps:

That's actually pretty important.
