Tab Completion Model Settings

You can customize the code completion provider in your VS Code settings, allowing you to switch between different models, including those running on your local machine.

By default, Pochi uses its own hosted code completion model. Alternatively, you can configure Pochi to use any OpenAI-compatible server that provides a Fill-in-the-Middle (FIM) completion model.

Here is an example configuration for a local OpenAI-compatible server running qwen3-coder-30b-a3b on port 8000:

  "pochi.advanced": {
    "inlineCompletion": {
      "provider": {
        "type": "openai",
        "baseURL": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1",
        "apiKey": "",
        "model": "qwen3-coder-30b-a3b",
        "promptTemplate": "<|fim_prefix|>{{prefix}}<|fim_suffix|>{{suffix}}<|fim_middle|>"
      }
    }
  },

• baseURL: The base URL of the OpenAI-compatible server.
• apiKey: The API key for the server. If not set, Pochi will use the POCHI_CODE_COMPLETION_OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable. This can be left empty if the server does not require an API key.
• model: The name of the FIM completion model to use.
• promptTemplate: The prompt template for FIM completion. It must include {{prefix}} and {{suffix}} placeholders.
