This VS Code extension enables AI-powered code assistance, allowing users to integrate their preferred AI models, including local LLMs and various API providers. It targets developers seeking flexible and customizable AI coding tools within their IDE, offering features for writing, refactoring, and improving code.

How It Works

The extension leverages the VS Code Extension API to provide an integrated chat interface and code actions. It supports multiple AI backends, including OpenAI-compatible APIs (like Azure OpenAI, OpenRouter.ai) and local LLM runners (like ollama, text-generation-webui), allowing users to choose between cloud-based or offline AI models. This flexibility is a key advantage, catering to diverse user needs regarding privacy, cost, and performance.
