What Aider is
Aider is a terminal tool for AI pair programming on code projects. It is for people who want to work with AI while using a local Git repository.
Aider connects to cloud and local language models and maps the codebase to give them context on larger projects. It edits code in the local repository, then can lint and test changes automatically. When those checks find problems, it can fix them.

What the models said
“If you live in the terminal, start with a terminal/CLI agent like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Aider, OpenCode, or Gemini CLI.”
“Choose Aider or Cline if you want total control over which LLMs you use without subscription lock-in.”
“Open-source or cost-sensitive setup: use Cline or Aider if you want model flexibility and more control over spending.”
“If you want to pay exactly for the tokens you use, swap in niche or local open-source models, and have 100% control over your data, running Aider or Cline is incredibly powerful.”
