About this fork

This is a fork of the popular, but now discontinued vscode-chatgpt extension. Full credit to @gencay for working on the original extension and later open-sourcing it.

Gencay has since released a new extension, "Reborn AI: Genie AI", that is a continuation of his work: https://github.com/ai-genie/chatgpt-vscode.

How these extensions differ is that Genie AI is a proprietary extension, and VSCode Reborn AI is an open-source extension.

Local LLMs and Proxies

Any tool that is "compatible" with the OpenAI API should work with this extension. The tools listed below are the ones I've personally tested.

Local LLMs tested to work with this extension

• text-generation-webui
• ollama
• LocalAI

Alternative APIs tested to work with this extension

• OpenRouter
• Azure OpenAI Service

Proxies

I've set up a proxy for anyone that needs it at https://openai-proxy.dev/v1. It's running x-dr/chatgptProxyAPI code on CloudFlare Workers. This is mainly for anyone who wants to use OpenAI, but cannot due to api.openai.com being blocked.

Tech

Yarn - TypeScript - VSCode Extension API - React - Redux - React Router - Tailwind CSS

• The UI is built with TailwindCSS. But, respecting VSCode's UI consistency and theme support is still a priority.
• This does not use VSCode's WebView UI Toolkit. But, I'm open to switching to the WebView UI toolkit since it better aligns with VSCode's UI.
