Supporting more models, including Claude, Gemini, and open source models is definitely at the top of the roadmap. Would that make it less annoying? :)

Not affiliated with the project but you could use something like OpenRouter to give users a massive list of models to choose from with fairly minimal effort

Thanks, I need to spend some time digging into OpenRouter. The main requirement would be reliable function calling and JSON, since Plandex relies heavily on that. I'm also expecting to need some model-specific prompts, considering how much prompt iteration was needed to get things behaving how I wanted on OpenAI.

I've also looked at Together (https://www.together.ai/) for this purpose. Can anyone speak to the differences between OpenRouter and Together?

I can't speak to the differences of Openrouter to Together but the Openrouter endpoint should work as a drop-in replacement for OpenAI api calls after replacing the endpoint url and the value of $OPENAI_API_KEY. The model names may differ to other apis but everything else should work the same.

Awesome, looking forward to trying it out.

Would love to hear any feedback from people who have gotten to know OpenRouter, as well as any similar tools.

I think Mistral-2-Pro would work really well for this, judging by the great results I've had with it on another heavy on tool calling project [1]

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Plandex's model settings are version-controlled like everything else and play well with branches, so it will be fun to start comparing how all different kinds of models do vs. each other on longer coding tasks using a branch for each one.

For challenging tasks, I typically get code outputs from all three top models (gpt4, opus, and ultra), and pick the best one. It would be nice if your tool could simply this for me: run all three models and perhaps even facilitate some type of model interaction to produce a better outcome.

Definitely, I'm very interested in doing something along these lines.

I think OpenAI is still the best of the bunch. Kind of feel like the others are kind of there to make people realize OpenAI works the best. Maybe when Gemini 1.5 is released?
