## Limitations
Aider basically requires GPT-4 for the main chat functions.
You can invoke it with `aider -3` to try using gpt-3.5-turbo, but it will almost certainly fail to function correctly.
GPT-3.5 is unable to follow directions and generate code changes in a stable, parsable format.
Aider also can only edit code that can fit in the context window.
For GPT-4 that is 8k tokens.
If you have access to gpt-4-32k, I would be curious to hear you experiences using it with aider.
