Coding assistants

Privatemode enables AI‑assisted coding on sensitive codebases that you can't share with public AI services. It provides an OpenAI‑compatible API, allowing you to connect any coding tool that supports such an API.

Available models

Privatemode offers the following models for coding tasks:

  • GLM-5.3: an agentic model with a large context window, ideal for complex coding tasks and codebases. (Details)
  • GLM-5.3-Flash: a multimodal agentic model with a large context window, lower-latency, and vision support. (Details)

Supported IDEs and extensions

Privatemode has been tested with these environments:

  • Claude Code (Get started)
  • OpenCode (Get started)
  • Visual Studio Code with GitHub Copilot Chat and Cline extensions (Get started)
  • JetBrains IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm with the JetBrains AI Assistant plugin (Get started)

Guides for other tools that only need the Privatemode endpoint configured, such as Xcode, Zed, Tabby, GitLab Duo, and Pi, are on privatemode.ai/integrations.
