Leverage a Code-tuned SLM in-browser

[AABoyles]

Problem

Requiring the Mistral API key to enable this extension violates the core value offering of Jupyterlite--namely, that it runs in the browser.

Proposed Solution

Leverage a simple, in-browser SLM to handle AI code completion. Ideally this should be the default option, providing users with seamless, batteries-included access to the extension's functionality, and extend the option to users to leverage Mistral (or other providers) for faster or higher-quality responses.

Thanks @AABoyles for the suggestion 👍

Indeed this extension has a lot of potential. It's still in its early days which is why it was focused on supporting some of the popular providers for now.

For reference there is also https://github.com/krassowski/jupyterlab-transformers-completer, which was created after the addition of the inline completer API to JupyterLab. A while back the models were working ok in the browser, but were not really useful for code completion (too small). But maybe the state has improved since.
