CodeGPT with VS Code

Overview

CodeGPT Chat is an AI-powered chatbot designed to assist developers with coding tasks directly within their preferred integrated development environments (IDEs), for example, VS Code.

Expectations

We have found that the Qwen-1.5-7B-Chat-Hybrid model is the best Hybrid model available for coding. It is good at chatting with a few files at a time in your codebase to learn more about them. It can also make simple code editing suggestions pertaining to a few lines of code at a time.

However, we do not recommend using this model for analyzing large codebases at once or making large or complex file edits.
