Get the Cursor AI experience in Neovim with avante nvim

[@o_glethorpe]

I tried avante but for some reason the response does not get updated inside neovim, I know it should work because it consumes credits but the response does not comes through

[@Giuseppecarusoplus]

Really nice video on Avante.nvim. So far the best and most comprehensive I’ve seen. Very well done. 😊 Off topic: what monitor do you use? 😅

[@ZazenCodes]

Thanks! Monitor is Dell 32 4K UHD Gaming Monitor - G3223Q. I like it but miss the contrast of my old VA panel.

[@ResmungoCoder]

Very interesting how this AI plug-in works in neovim! Definitely wanna try it

[@ZazenCodes]

Yeah it's awesome - especially if you already work in neovim

[@choi77770]

I don't actually understand what : CURSOR does. What is it for?

[@erickerney5850]

Full Stack Data Science for the win!

[@ZazenCodes]

😁

[@eclbg]

Hey! Did you manage to try the auto suggestion feature? Thanks for the video, I'm also trying all AI coding tools available in neovim and Avante is def one of the most promising ones.

[@ZazenCodes]

I’ve not tried it. The next thing I want to experiment with is the “ask project” feature (chat with multiple files as context).

Hey Alex, have you tried using claude with avante? I used avante for a couple of days but the cost per message seemed high so i went back to cursor, i was spending about 2 cents between the input and output tokens, per question. :S

[@ZazenCodes]

I think it adds your entire file as context so if its large then costs would be proportionally high - even for small tweaks on the code. I have tried claude yes. I would assume costs are the same - probably more than gpt-4o-mini but on par with 4o. Claude does work a bit better with avante Ive found

[@irlshrek]

but this doesnt factor in your entire codebase when it generates responses...right?

[@thegneralist]

the latest version does. you can either type @codebase or select individual files to include

[@rogerzen8696]

Can you share you you lazy.lua file? 'coz avante is not installing for me.

[@ZazenCodes]

You can find it in my dotfiles repo on github.com/zazencodes

[@rogerzen8696]

@ZazenCodes lazy.lua in your youtube repo is from 9 months ago. Am I looking in the wrong place?

[@foadsf]

Does this also work with Ollama?

[@ZazenCodes]

Yes. But I have not tried it github.com/yetone/avante.nvim/issues/442

[@thegneralist]

yes, but it's a bit tricky and you also need to manually run your ollama server.

[@rithwikvaidun9992]

how much do you pay a month for 4o mini credits, roughly?

[@ZazenCodes]

it all depends how much you use it, you could easily rack up $1/day or more. I would add like $10 of credits and disable auto-recharge and see how far you get

[@aquepaique]

😮😮

[@ZazenCodes]

😤

[@fluffow2675]

There's no difference compared to gp.nvim? That's a disappointment

[@amqndin]

is GP nvim free? it do I have to pay for open ai API key?

[@fluffow2675]

@amqndin if you have a self hosted ai it's free but otherwise you need a key for anyone of the big providers
