# aider is GPT powered coding in your terminal
`aider` is a command-line chat tool that allows you to write and edit
code with gpt-4 or gpt-3.5-turbo. You can ask GPT to help you start
code with OpenAI's GPT models. You can ask GPT to help you start
a new project, or modify code in your existing git repo.
Aider makes it easy to git commit, diff & undo changes proposed by GPT without copy/pasting.
It also has features that [help GPT-4 understand and modify larger codebases](https://aider.chat/docs/ctags.html).

Aider supports
`gpt-4`,
`gpt-4-32k`
`gpt-3.5-turbo`,
`gpt-4-32k`,
`gpt-3.5-turbo`
and the the brand new `gpt-3.5-turbo-16k` model.
You will probably get the best results with GPT-4, because of its large context window and
greater competance at code editing.
You will probably get the best results with GPT-4,
because of its large context window and
greater competance at coding
which will allow you to edit larger codebases.
The GPT-3.5 models are less able to follow instructions for
returning code edits in a diff-like format.
So aider needs to send GPT-3.5 the original code
and ask it to return a full copy of the modified code.
Both the original and modified copies of the code count towards the context window token limit.
The GPT-3.5 models are limited to editing somewhat smaller codebases.
They are less able to follow instructions for
returning code edits in a compact format,
so aider has
and ask GPT-3.5 to return a full copy of any code that needs to be edited.
This rapidly uses up 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).
