Sweep is an open-source AI-powered junior developer. I think you should be less bullish on the "open source". As you kindly clarified for me the other day when I asked [1], only the client is open source. The back end is closed (that's Sweep back end, not the LLM which is obvious) and the product as a whole cannot be self-hosted by third parties. That's fine (though not clear what the benefit is to developers who mig…

Sounds like the backend is GPT 4?
If this was open source, Sweep-core should not be closed source; the whole thing (minus GPT3+ obviously) should be self-hostable.
In any case, congratulations on launching, your product looks really promising!

No, the backend (as I understand it, please check my linked question) is closed source Sweep-core plus GPTx. If this was open source, Sweep-core should not be closed source; the whole thing (minus GPT3+ obviously) should be self-hostable.
Sweep’s logic is fully open and it’s self hostable, but we’ve been focusing on the capabilities of Sweep(not on self hosting) so we haven’t provided docs.
Because Sweep runs entirely in GitHub, it’s easy to install but annoying to self host. You’d need to setup modal and create a new github app.
Definitely doable, some of our community members were able to do it.
I tried Sweep the other day and I got a weird error: [link redacted]-- "an issue has occurred around fetching the files." What files might that be? In any case, congratulations on launching, your product looks really promising!
> Limitations of Sweep: > - Using the latest APIs that have changed past 2022 Oh good, the frontend devs don't have to worry about AI taking their jobs yet.

Sorry I think you misunderstood. Sweep’s logic is fully open and it’s self hostable, but we’ve been focusing on the capabilities of Sweep(not on self hosting) so we haven’t provided docs.

Q: Can you run it fully self-hosted (apart from the GPT4 engine obv), or is the repo essentially a client to a Sweep API/binary?
A: The repo is just the backend that runs the GitHub webhooks. [...clip...] Now it's only the GitHub interface with creating tickets and comments.
Anyway, if it is fully self-hostable (minus the LLM endpoint) that's terrific, and I will have a go at it.

In that case, my apologies for misrepresenting the product - but I think the clarity was lacking rather than me misunderstanding, here's my question which specifically asked about self-hosting for that reason, and your answer (from the link) which seemed to imply no, only the github hook part: Q: Can you run it fully self-hosted (apart from the GPT4 engine obv), or is the repo essentially a client to a Sweep API/bina…
Check out our discord for help! There's a couple of people trying it now :D. Happy to answer questions when we have the time, and I'll point you to the person who set it up themselves.

Update (I'm unable to edit my comment); it appears I was wrong and Sweep is fully open-source. My apologies. See the comment below: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37002341
