I've been experimenting with using local LLMs in place of ChatGPT in coding assistant. I was able to do this using LM Studio. I found that switching LLMs was a little clunky, but eventually, I was able to make it work. However, none of the LLMs I tried were able to generate error free Swift code. Not surprising at this stage.
I decided to train an LLM (Llama3.1-8b) with Apple's Swift Programming language reference, using Open WebUI, and this worked. I was able to get the LLM to generate working Swift Code that I was able to test in Playgrounds.
The problem I'm having now is that Xcode is locked up on the last LLM I tried out. I've tried deleting all the LLM providers in Settings, leaving only ChatGPT, but Xcode still defaults to the local LLM, even though it throws errors if you try to ask it a question.
I've tried reinstalling Xcode, downloading new versions of sample Xcode projects, and deleting various data files, all to no avail.
I would really like to test the new LLM I've trained in coding assistant, but right now, Xcode won't let me. It won't even let me revert to ChatGPT.
