OpenAI
To work with OpenAI’s models, you need to provide your
OpenAI API key
either in the OPENAI_API_KEY
environment variable or
via the --openai-api-key
command line switch.
Aider has some built in shortcuts for the most popular OpenAI models and has been tested and benchmarked to work well with them:
python -m pip install -U aider-chat
export OPENAI_API_KEY=<key> # Mac/Linux
setx OPENAI_API_KEY <key> # Windows, restart shell after setx
# Aider uses gpt-4o by default (or use --4o)
aider
# GPT-4 Turbo (1106)
aider --4-turbo
# GPT-3.5 Turbo
aider --35-turbo
# List models available from OpenAI
aider --list-models openai/
You can use aider --model <model-name>
to use any other OpenAI model.
For example, if you want to use a specific version of GPT-4 Turbo
you could do aider --model gpt-4-0125-preview
