description CodeGPT Overview

CodeGPT is a versatile VS Code extension that acts as a gateway to multiple AI models (OpenAI GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, local models via Ollama, etc.) within your editor. It provides a chat interface, code completion, and code explanation features.

Its main strength is flexibility; you can bring your own API keys and choose the best model for each task. It includes features like code review, test generation, and bug detection. It targets developers who want to leverage cutting-edge LLMs directly in their workflow without being locked into a single vendor. It's a great choice for tinkerers and those who already have preferred API-based AI services.

help CodeGPT FAQ

Which AI models can CodeGPT use inside VS Code?

CodeGPT can connect to providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic's Claude, and Google Gemini, depending on the extension version and configuration. It can also use local models through Ollama or compatible API endpoints.

What can CodeGPT do inside a VS Code project?

The extension provides an editor chat interface for asking about files, explaining code, and generating changes. It can also support code completion, so the workflow stays inside Visual Studio Code rather than requiring a separate browser tab.

Can CodeGPT run with a local Ollama model?

Yes, CodeGPT supports local-model workflows through Ollama when the model and endpoint are configured correctly. In that setup, prompts can be sent to a model running on the user's own machine instead of directly to a cloud provider.
