Claude-3.5 Sonnet + Qwen2 + ContinueDev : This AMAZING Coding Copilot BEATS Github Copilot & Others!

In this video, I'll be telling you that how you can create a new coding copilot / assistant with ContinueDev, ShellGPT & the New Anthropic Claude-3.5 Sonnet Model. This new Anthropic Claude-3.5 Sonnet model based copilot is cheaper and better than Github's Copilot & every other local, opensource copilot I have ever seen. This Github Copilot alternative can work even without the need of GPUs which is really amazing.
This alternative can also be used with any opensource LLM, OpenAI models or the other Claude models such as GPT-4O, Claude-3, CodeQwen, Mixtral 8x22b, Mixtral 8x7b, GPT-4, Grok-1.5 & Gemini Code Assist.
