Ask HN: Is anyone successfully integrating LLMs with their entire codebase?

5 points| roddylindsay | 1 year ago

My team is using tools like Copilot, Phind and Coderabbit, but these seem mostly useful for code suggestions and feedback related to individual files.

Is anyone successfully using tools which, via large context windows/RAG/other IR techniques, are able to generate or review code with complex dependencies across many different files and code areas (i.e. db, backend, API, frontend)? Or is this still a ways out?

Aider is one tool which works on medium sized repos for me. Make sure to use claude3.5-sonnet or gpt4o, other LLMs are not yet up to the task with the context size required

I watched some videos about aider today, and some claimed it works well with DeepCoder V2. Haven't tried it yet, but interested to see if you had experience with it?
