The cogito-coder model is an advanced AI coding assistant designed for deep task research, modular code generation, and robust error handling. It is based on the cogito:latest image with custom parameters for temperature and context size.
To create the model, use the following command:
ollama create cogito-coder -f ./ModelFile.cogito-coderThe cogito-coder model boasts several key features:
- Modular architecture for task handling
- Emphasis on clean, simple, and reliable code
- Structured reasoning and error handling
For full configuration details, refer to the ModelFile.cogito-coder.
You can use your custom Ollama model (e.g., cogito-coder) directly in VS Code with the Cline plugin, which provides enhanced AI coding assistance by connecting to your local Ollama server.
-
Install the Cline plugin in VS Code from the Extensions Marketplace.
-
Start your custom model with Ollama:
ollama run cogito-coder
-
Configure Cline:
- Open the Cline plugin settings in VS Code.
- Set the model endpoint to your local Ollama server (default:
http://localhost:11434). - Enter your custom model name (e.g.,
cogito-coder).
-
Use Cline:
- Interact with your model directly from the VS Code command palette or editor.
- Ensure Ollama is running and your model is available before using Cline.
- To find the Cline settings, go to File > Preferences > Settings in VS Code and search for "Cline".
- Switch models by changing the model name in the Cline settings.
- If the model is not available, check the Ollama server logs for potential issues.
