SigmaPilot VSCode Extension

This Visual Studio Code extension facilitates the connection to Large Language Models using a URL and API key. Users can connect to any model that follows the post header and body request of OpenAI API. Our team tested using LM Studio for local connections and OpenAI api for external connections.

It streamlines the process of interfacing with these powerful language models directly within your coding environment, enhancing your productivity and enabling seamless integration of AI-powered language capabilities into your workflow.

Features

• Connect to Local LLM with LM Studios: Easily connect to a local Language Model via LM Studios, enabling you to leverage its capabilities directly from within Visual Studio Code.
• Connect to OpenAI API: Connect to OpenAI's ChatGPT API by providing your API Key, allowing you to interact with ChatGPT and harness its conversational AI capabilities effortlessly.
• Streamlined Interface: The extension offers a user-friendly interface within Visual Studio Code, making it intuitive to establish connections and utilize the language models seamlessly.

Requirements

To use this extension, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Local Language Model (LLM) Setup: If you intend to connect to a local Language Model using LM Studios, you need to have LM Studios installed and properly configured with the desired language model. Follow the instructions provided by LM Studios for installation and setup.
• OpenAI API: If you wish to connect to ChatGPT using its API, you must have an API Key from OpenAI. You can obtain your API Key by signing up for an account and subscribing to the ChatGPT API. For more information, visit OpenAI's website.
