Is there a way to use this (or similar) model in Visual Studio? Extensions on Visual Studio Marketplace are clunky and sluggish at best, if they even work at all.

If you mean VSCode (or any other editor):

I thought there was already a generic plugin for this :(. Let's wait for one then ha, or I may just make one.

No, I mean Visual Studio (the IDE), not Visual Studio Code (the editor).

Very cool! I understand that the 1.5B is small enough to run locally... but does it actually in the Sweep AI Jetbrains plugin? That is, if I install the plugin, will I download the model automatically and the plugin doesn't phone home?

no, as far as I can see there is no way to configure the Jetbrains plugin to use a local endpoint.

No, I mean Visual Studio (the IDE), not Visual Studio Code (the editor).

Of course they are different products, but is there really a meaningful distinction between VS Code and an IDE? For all i care VS Code is a complete IDE.

Congratulations on training a relatively small model that can beat larger models for this important task.

>We ran a genetic algorithm over 30+ diff formats

Can you you give more information about your genetic algorithm? Did you do crossover over the trained models (for example, ranking by fitness, take 20% most elite and create children by mixing their weights randomly)? Did you have a 'population size' (number of instances) for the genetic algorithms, and if so what was it?

This is so cool. What is the second order effect of model training becoming democratized? And local models becoming the norm? Tasks like agentic work are well handled by current AI as long as you know what you're doing and can stress the agent against tests/spec, etc.

I am thinking that one effect is:

- it will become normal for meta-models to train a model specific to a particular task/product.

Also, differently, I'm quite sure that AGI is not available on this current path (useful tho it is), but that some algo improvements might crack ubiquitous trainable AGI. Probably including some kind of embodiment to provide world-models and emotions (which are essential to embodied survival and success).
