LLM code gen

[santolucito]

I have been having a blast live coding with Sonic Pi in Cursor/VSCode with Github Copilot (using this VS Code extension https://github.com/s00500/vscode-sonic-pi). The AI autocomplete makes live coding so easy and fun.

The only issue is that the LLM really likes to suggest code that is very repetitive, isnt creative, and just generally doesn't sound good. I would like to be able to customize this. I have been looking into customizing Cursor/Github Copilot, but haven't had much luck.

Are there any plans to integrate LLM autocomplete directly into the Sonic PI IDE?

@santolucito - from recent updates on https://github.com/samaaron/tau5/blob/main/README.md, it looks like this kind of feature will be only be implemented in Sonic Pi's successor, Tau5. I can't speak directly for Sam on this, but I suspect it won't be added in Sonic Pi.

Yep, there are currently no plans for any llm integration at this stage. However, there are plans for an MCP server for Tau5.

Please be careful using an LLM with Sonic Pi code as it's essentially equivalent to giving an LLM complete access to your terminal. It's something I'm very wary of.

Tau5 will feature a sandboxed language - so it will make this kind of stuff much safer.
