So aider has
to ask GPT-3.5 to return a full copy of any code that needs to be edited.
This rapidly uses up tokens and can hit the limits of the context window.
In practice, this means you can only use `gpt-3.5-turbo` to edit files that are
smaller than about 2k tokens (8k bytes).
The new `gpt-3.5-turbo-16k` model should be able to edit code up to 8k tokens (32k bytes).
Aider disables the

@ -135,6 +132,17 @@ when used with GPT-3.5 models.
The `gpt-3.5-turbo` context window is too small to include a repo map.
Evaluation is still needed to determine if `gpt-3.5-turbo-16k` can make use of a repo map.
In practice, this means you can use aider to edit a set of source files
that total up to these sizes:
| model | context size | max file size | max file size |
| ----------------- | -- | -----| -- |
| gpt-3.5-turbo | 4k tokens | 2k tokens | 8k bytes |
| gpt-3.5-turbo-16k | 16k tokens | 8k tokens | 32k bytes |
| gpt-4 | 8k tokens | 8k tokens | 32k bytes |
| gpt-4-32k | 32k tokens | 32k tokens | 128k bytes |
## Tips
* Large changes are best performed as a sequence of thoughtful bite sized steps, where you plan out the approach and overall design. Walk GPT through changes like you might with a junior dev. Ask for a refactor to prepare, then ask for the actual change. Spend the time to ask for code quality/structure improvements.
