Aider

Aider is a git-aware terminal pair-programmer.

1. Start the server

afm mlx -m mlx-community/Qwen3-Coder-Next-4bit \
  --port 9999 --enable-prefix-caching

2. Point Aider at afm

export OPENAI_API_BASE=http://localhost:9999/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=x
aider --model openai/mlx-community/Qwen3-Coder-Next-4bit

3. Use it

Aider commits/edits/reverts as usual. All inference is local.

Tips

  • Aider's repo-map prompt grows with codebase size; --enable-prefix-caching keeps subsequent turns fast.
  • Aider doesn't stream tool-call deltas — it waits for the final assistant message — so streaming overhead is minimal either way.
  • For very long sessions, add --kv-bits 8 to halve the KV-cache memory footprint.
