Aider (Upgraded) : This Coding Agent just got AMAZING with DeepSeek-V2.5 Support, Caching & More!

Join this channel to get access to perks:

In this video, I'll be telling you about the new upgrades to Aider which is an AI Coding Agent or Text-To-Application tool that plugs right inside your Terminal & VS Code. It can generate code with Claude-3.5-Sonnet & Opensource LLMs and generate whole NextJS, Python and other applications within seconds. It's very similar to ClaudeDev but it's better than that. I'll be generating some simple applications but you can also use it to generate Games, Applications, Web Applications, Websites, Frontend, Backend and multiple other things. You can also do Text-To-Frontend, Text-To-Application, Text-To-Game and other things with this. Aider can also be used with any opensource LLM, OpenAI models or the other Claude models such as GPT-4O, Claude-3, CodeQwen, Mixtral 8x22b, Mixtral 8x7b, GPT-4, Grok-1.5 & Gemini Code Assist.

came for the tech, stayed for the dancing charizard

[jackflash]

Outstanding !!! Thank you for keeping us abreast of the latest.
Looking forward to trying Aider again today..

Hey King, we really need to start an AI Coding online Academy with yearly subscription.

People were telling the bot to generate code, the bot generated code would throw an exception and people would file the bug for Aider's maintainer to fix. Kudos for Paul staying calm enough to create features for all that instead of telling the lazy f's go f' off like I would have. (How do I know, I subscribed to aider's issue on github)

[vaioslaschos]

Any chance you can make a video about caching in more detail? Also if you could talk a bit about the voice command and how good it works? I try to make one myself and is a pain.

[thisisme-so]

so finally which ai agent would you recommend

[orthodox_gentleman]

I don’t really understand the point of Aider over ClaudeDev

[Maisonier]

Is there a big difference between running DeepSeek-Coder-v2 16B q8 locally and DeepSeek v2.5?

[geronimotutusaus]

Is anyone getting this warning? Note: in-chat filenames are always relative to the git working dir, not the current working dir.

[taylan]

yeah also has bug with vertexai not update files correctly now good new upgrade..

[abdullahzafar]

Does anyone know if Deepseek v2 16B is the one toping charts or that the 133B one ?

[kumarbanavathu]

I hope Aider makes Github integration optional.

[jjdorig]

can this be integrated into claude dev somehow?
