Automated UI to code: Upload simple UI mockups to automate component creation or small chunks of wireframes directly in your IDE. Let Refact.ai generate frontend code (HTML, CSS, JS) for frameworks like React, Vue.js, or Angular.
Instant understanding of complex codebases: Upload architecture diagrams, process flows, or system overviews into your workspace to quickly grasp the structure of large or unfamiliar codebases.
Enhanced visual documentation: Add flowcharts, diagrams, or annotated screenshots directly within your workspace to clarify workflows, highlight key issues, or document processes for future reference.
Quick visual debugging: Simply upload an image of the bug and let Refact.ai fix it.
It’s already available on Visual Studio Code and JetBrains. Try it first!
🌏 Try Qwen models in Refact.ai
Auto-completion in Refact.ai is becoming increasingly powerful, especially now with the Qwen2.5-Coder series of models. According to their official website:
Code Generation: The flagship model, Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct, has achieved the best performance among open-source models on several popular code generation benchmarks (EvalPlus, LiveCodeBench, BigCodeBench) and exhibits competitive performance compared to GPT-4o.
*Source: qwen2.org
Code Repair: Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct can help users fix errors in their code, making programming more efficient. Aider is a popular benchmark for code repair, and Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct scored 73.7, performing comparably to GPT-4o on Aider.
Code Reasoning: Code reasoning refers to the model’s ability to learn the process of code execution and accurately predict the model’s inputs and outputs. The recently released Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct has already shown impressive performance in code reasoning, and this 32B model takes it a step further.
At Refact.ai, we are committed to staying at the forefront of AI development by integrating the latest models into our product, enhancing its power and capabilities. You can now use the Qwen2.5-Coder family within Refact.ai in the self-hosted version.
And the Refact.ai cloud version now features code completion powered by Qwen2.5-Coder-1.5B. This model stands out as a powerful, low-latency solution, making it an ideal choice for developers seeking a model that combines high performance with efficiency.
🖥️ Other Updates in the Self-hosted Version
New models are available: Besides the Qwen2.5-Coder family, you can now use the latest Llama3.1 and Llama3.2 within Refact.ai.
Expanded provider support: Integrate with 3rd party APIs for Groq and Cerebras.
Configure different models for single-line and multiline code completion: Assign a fast, lightweight model for quick single-line edits, while leveraging a more advanced model for multiline scenarios.
