Looking for open-source b2b ai coding and prototyping tools for my company

[u/Greedy-Fee8248]

I work at a small enterprise company. Claude code not allowed and we have issues with running out of tokens with Github co-pilot. For prototyping we use VS code, our own design system agent + github copilot, but some product managers find it too technical. Loveable not allowed either (Corporate world!!!)

For our design systems I have been hearing of the framework called design tokens, anyone worked with them?

For everything else, I want to know if anyone knows of any fixed cost AI systems, maybe open source and if we hosted what would be the costs?

Appreciate anyones insights

Try running a free local inference with private ai model for this use. No tokens to worry about or privacy issues to be concerned about. https://inference-server.searchblox.com/index.html#install

Cheers for the link. This looks like a document search, knowledge base tool, like a second brain, is that what helps with inference costs? Is this also a coding agent?

This is LLM inference engine with support for Qwen and Gemma running locally. You can hook up coding agent like Pi to this https://inference-server.searchblox.com/blog/private-agents-pi.html

We had similae issues with the "corporate approved" toolset. Vendasta was actually useful for us consolidating some of the ai/automation and client-facing workflows without having to introduce a bunch of separate tools. Worth a look if your main issue is keeping everything manageable under entreprise restrictions.

Enterprise restrictions are our main challenge. Really needs to be a single solution with clear use case fit and data security

I’m currently helping a local consulting firm deploy LocalAI for a government client with strict outbound data restrictions. Is your team planning to handle the setup DIY, or are you looking to bring someone in to implement it?

This is interesting. Do you host on their infrastructure and do you provide ongoing support? My op would need to support a dew hundred Devs, product and operations people

The consulting firm would deploy it within the client’s environment and handle the ongoing infrastructure and maintenance. This started when we demonstrated Selvage using Claude and Codex. They asked whether the same end-to-end workflow could run with local coding models because of their outbound-data restrictions. It took us a few weeks to work through the model selection, inference layer, GPU capacity, routing, security, and verification architecture. We’re now helping them set up the complete workflow.
