Here's an example of using Mentat to work with @karpathy's new llama2.c - Mentat can explain unfamiliar codebases, help you plan out changes, and edit in languages you're unfamiliar with.

I believe combining human and AI capabilities is the way to unlock new levels of productivity, so a powerful interface is key. Mentat modifies, creates, and deletes files, and is aware of the current git diff so it can extend your work. Use interactive mode to select suggestions

Mentat is open source and available on Github!

There's also a discord community!

very good call to keep it based on terminal. you dodged so much compat stuff

thanks! yeah eventually I imagine plugins for editors, but at this point goal is to move fast with core functionality

This is cool, tried it but it made an error and code didn't run after :)

it's not 100% yet! I'm working on this full time and it will continue to improve. I have a lot of plans for improving robustness

nice, impressive. (i will try it once i get arch running)

Been using this and it works great. I was copying code into ChatGPT like a caveman before.
