# Coding

One of the fastest-growing applications for LLMs is coding. A rising number of open-source coding tools let users integrate their preferred LLMs. Pairing these tools with privacy-preserving LLMs ensures your source code remains secure, cannot be used for training, and won’t be leaked.&#x20;

Additionally, they provide precise cost control down to the token level, avoiding expensive enterprise subscriptions.

You can connect any coding agent that supports OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Here are quickstart guides to help you get started with some of the most popular tools:
