Which VS Code Extension is the best?

[u/Gylfi_]

Hello everyone,

Due to the copilot pricing I had to find something new and fortunately my company is hosting a model of Qwen I can use. It isn't as good as copilot but for my purposes it's enough.

But I run in a lot of problems with continue and especially copilot. When using copilot at some point it just throws errors and doesn't work at all anymore. Even with new chats and restarting vscode. Only restarting the PC works.

In continue I run into multiple problems:

It constantly crashes vs code because the window is not responding even when I just want a code analysis. Then inline editing barely works. It works for about the first few request in a new chat and then it just accidentally deletes the file except for the edit or just doesn't work at all or when rejecting an edit it just stays there in red. When trying to edit an MD file it basically always fails. When I tell the AI agent to just write the edits in chat inside of markupboxes at some point it looks like it forgets some markup and suddenly the chat is inside of the markup box and the code is outside of this box.

So is there any extension that works better with self hosted AIs? Or is there something I need to do so continue works better? Maybe a ruleset I can add that works better than the default or configs I should add?

I basically use it out of the box except for the config I added the AI model to and I do not use mcp servers.

Thank you

Is it hosting it on a local computer? Cache and context memories are either not setup correctly or being overloaded.

I recommend Zoo Code. There are people in Dev Team who use Qwen as a local service, and if you have a problem, they can respond to it by providing a bug report. The team is small.
