Full Control of AI in Tools and IDEs with Theia AI and the Theia IDE
summary
Theia AI is an open source framework integrated into the Theia IDE that demonstrates working features: local LLM support (Llama 3.2 run as a llama file on the presenter’s laptop), live prompt templates editable live that change code completion behavior without restarting, transparent variables and tool functions showing exactly what code or files are sent, and a workspace agent orchestration that inspects package.json and answers project-specific questions; demos mostly succeed though LLM nondeterminism occasionally misfires.
