Comment on If you are paying to use "AI", who are you paying and what are your regular usecases?
hisao@ani.social 21 hours agoIs there anything as good as vscode-copilot for free models? I mean, integrating the process of querying models with actually generating and applying diffs to the files in project, etc.

I understand vscode is free, and can connect to free AI backends. I haven’t tried yet.

The extension kilocode let’s u connect to any openai api comparable endpoint. I’ve got it hooked up to my instance of openwebui so I can use remote models via open routers or use locals models.

Copilot is an extension for VS Code that does integration of their supported AI models with code editor (including creation/removal/moving/renaming/editing files, providing git-like diffs and per-file keep/discard choices for what AI made in response to your most recent prompt, etc). They only support fixed set of models and don’t provide any way to integrate free / opensource models. So the question is mainly what’s the alternative to Copilot for free models.
