What is Void?
Void presents itself as an open-source alternative to AI code editors like Cursor. It empowers developers to write code enhanced by advanced AI tools, providing flexibility in choosing language models and maintaining complete data control. The editor is built upon VS Code, allowing users to seamlessly transfer their existing themes, keybindings, and settings with a single click, ensuring a familiar development environment.
It facilitates direct communication with preferred LLMs such as Claude, GPT, or Gemini, bypassing intermediary services. Users can also opt to host models locally using tools like Ollama, eliminating concerns about API credit limitations. Void actively integrates with third-party tools like Greptile for codebase chat, Ollama for local hosting, and DocSearch for documentation search, extending its capabilities.
