As edge AI workflows continue to evolve, running intelligent developer tools locally—without relying on cloud inference—has become increasingly important. In this reposted article, Yanwei explores a practical edge-side AI development setup using the MetaComputing AI PC on the Framework Laptop 13, combining VSCode with the DeepSeek AI Coding Assistant.
The blog walks through how a local AI coding assistant can be integrated directly into the developer workflow, highlighting responsiveness, privacy benefits, and real-world usability on an Arm-based AI PC platform. It also demonstrates how modern edge hardware is now capable of supporting meaningful AI-assisted development tasks without sacrificing performance or flexibility.
This article offers a valuable hands-on perspective for developers interested in edge AI, local LLM inference, and AI-powered coding on open and modular hardware.
