Open-source AI pair programming inside your terminal and git repo
Chat with an AI assistant from your shell, have it propose and apply code edits to files in your working directory, and keep full control of the final diff.
Every accepted change becomes a real commit with an auto-written message, so you can inspect, amend, revert or branch AI edits with ordinary git commands.
Aider builds a structural map of your project so the model understands where relevant code lives and can work sensibly in large, multi-file codebases.
Connect hosted models from Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek and others, or point Aider at a locally hosted model to keep code on your own hardware.

Install once and pull open-weight models by name; Ollama handles weights, quantization and versioning for you.
A built-in server exposes a straightforward REST API, so scripts, editors and agents can talk to local models with minimal setup.
Route requests to hosted open models when your laptop cannot hold the checkpoint you need, with per-token pricing and concurrency tiers.
Access families such as Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma, Mistral and gpt-oss from a single interface.
