Coding: how to choose a model
Coding models must fit the language, project size, and tool environment. Completion, debugging, and agentic development have different integration needs.
Before integrating
- 01Specify the programming language, framework, and runtime environment.
- 02Confirm the context can hold the necessary code.
- 03When using tools, verify the protocol and tool parameters.
- 04Run tests in isolation and inspect dependencies and behavior.
Generated code has not necessarily been executed, tested, or adapted to your project.
