Switching LLMs
Currently, the Pieces for JetBrains Plugin supports over 54 different cloud and local models, which you can find here.
How to Switch Models
To get started, open the Pieces Copilot chat in the side-window using any of the available methods, such as opening a Copilot Chat with an option in the tool menu, using a quick action, selecting the Pieces icon from the sidebar, and other means.
To access the LLM menu within the Copilot Chat:
Access Copilot Chat
Open the Copilot Chat view by clicking the sidebar icon
Find Active Model
Look for the active model in the lower-left of the Copilot Chat view
Change Active Model
Click the active model icon and select your preferred LLM from the menu
The Pieces Copilot will utilize that model for all AI-related features—no restart or refresh needed.
Depending on your preferences and intended workflow, you can choose between cloud-hosted and local models.
Using local models allows for the flexibility to work in a completely offline environment without sacrificing Pieces Copilot.
