Aider + CodeQwen : This AI Pair Programmer is BETTER than Github's Copilot (works w/ Ollama, OpenAI)

In this video, I'll be telling you about a new local and free github copilot alternative that is also an AI Pair Programmer and that's called Aider. I'll also tell you how you can stop paying for Github's Copilot Coding Assistant with this FREE, LOCAL & Opensource coding assistant / ai pair programmer called Aider. We'll be combining this VS Code & NeoVim extension with CodeQwen. This alternative can be used with any opensource LLM, OpenAI models or Claude models such as GPT-4O, Claude-3, CodeQwen, Mixtral 8x22b, Mixtral 8x7b, GPT-4, Grok-1.5 & Gemini Code Assist.

Thanks again Mr. King, you are always on point, I been working on architectural diagrams for concepts, any suggestions on your end?

[husanaaulia]

Can we somehw trick instruct model to do fill in the middle?

[Miguel-jiqc]

Is there an alternative to groq where codeqwen is possible?

[claxviith]

I use ollama cli all the time. It is cool.

CoPilot and I never became friends. I hated the code completion it was off often and then when not paying attention the code was added and you had to delete it again. A big nightmare. Aider on the other hand is my new best mate.

[wyattmanwich]

you can configure it to only complete when you prompt it. its just not well documented.

Hi Mr king, love your content, do you have any ideas on setting up an automatic commit message using a.i but it must be local ?

[pincer]

I did everything, but when I needed to do the aider --model ollama/codeqwen, it told me 'aider' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I'm on windows

[simeonnnnn]

I think tabnine is the best of these coding assistant things.

[yathuarulnanthy]

How would you compare this to the continuedev plugin?

[mohaideenabuthahir]

Can we run these models in free resources like colab, hugging face or jupyter notebook. Most of the people's having low end pc including me, i can understand how code works I can't write a end to end project, so if i use copilot it will boost the process right, i have 10 dollars which is more valuable than just 10 dollars, reply to this cause it will help me soo much

I always want to know who owns the code that AI writes?

[caliwolf]

I love you, just unsubbed of all the AI content whores channels, and only have you alone now <3
