FreeAIr is a Visual Studio extension which allows you to interact with any LLM which have OpenAI-compatible API. Even with local LLM! No artificial | political barrier injected in FreeAIr code.

Download VSIX

QA

Q: Wait, another one?!

A: Yes, yet another LLM VSIX :)

Q: Why? There is a fantastic Copilot!

A: Because Copilot is a subject of politics. Today you are enjoying Copilot, tomorrow your country has been banned from it. FreeAIr is not a political subject and provides no artificial barriers.

Q1: I have NO access to any LLM in Internet via public API.

Q2: I have NO rights to use any remote LLM because of license of the code I'm writing.

A: No problem! You can use local LLM, for example via KoboldCpp. Local LLM sends nothing to remote servers. See details below.

How I can access to AI if my country is banned from Copilot and from any other LLM provider?

This is possible. If you are banned only from Copilot:

  1. Install this VSIX into your Visual Studio. You will need to have Visual Studio 2022 v.17.10 at least.
  2. Register on openrouter.ai. This is easily can be done via github.com account. Also, you can obtain access to any LLM with OpenAI compatible API. FreeAIr itself does not include any LLM.
  3. Choose any free model at openrouter.ai and create an access token.
  4. Put your token into options page (see screenshot above).
  5. That's all, enjoy! But remember: for a free LLM openrouter.ai has daily limits (50 prompts per day, if I remember correctly).

FreeAIr itself has no restrictions, you are able to switch another OpenAI compatible API.

If you are banned from any remote LLM then run LLM locally, which is very easy, for example with KoboldCpp: run KoboldCpp, choose the model, wait for KoboldCpp starts (it opens browser), and then use correct OpenAI compatible endpoint like http://localhost:5001/v1.
