Description

The LLM that you're using right now returned a response that does not adhere to the format our framework expects, and thus this request has failed. If you keep seeing this error, this is likely because the LLM is unable to follow our system instructions and it is recommended to switch over to one of our recommended models instead.

this comes up again and again on queries (using claude sonnet) like

"we introduced a 'kind' field to the blog-card and db. display left beside the username (as a slim elegant dropdown, reuse existent widgets). do not extend to other tasks."

Reproduction

No response

I have the same issue as well, none of the models work for me either right now. Not even if I just say "Hello"

[surfer312]

same issue

[laz-001]

/agent, @theskcd, maybe trigger some alarm.

[addanuj]

For almost after every 2nd or 3rd command. this issue is killing all expectations from AIDE

this issue is killing all expectations from AIDE

There are many details that are highly annoying. Site mentions 4 people, it feels here sometimes that just one person tries to keep everything together. I mean the thing is open. I would do some work, but development is not streamlined enough. quite sad.

[theskcd]

I did push fixes to our backend for this, hopefully it feels more stable for a while now

Have been experiencing the issue for last 3 days, I don't understand why I had taken the subscription for this scrap app.

they dont even answer on emails

[laz-001]

@theskcd , may I suggest that you at least try to open the development a little bit up. The errors seem to come from the open-source rust sidecar.

I believe that many of the users are willing to spend an hour (or even a day) on an issue. But you need to open development up. Currently, it makes not much sense to even try to contribute.

[laz-001]

I don't understand why I had taken the subscription for this scrap app.

I understand me: despite immediately detecting many weaknesses and flaws, i noticed that AIDE (another weakness: the brand) did work in a way that I was expecting (and did not find in bolt/cursor/windsurf/zencoder).

(so i thought: give it a try for a month)

It is really a tragedy that practice shows that one cannot work only with this IDE, because obviously the dev are in some kind of activity trap, blinded to see that they've lost their path to a stable product.

[theskcd]

Hey! Not blinded by the bugs at all, it's just the tragedy of bugs and prompting skills that show as cracks at scale. I am personally happy to refund if you all are not happy.

The bugs are honestly on our providers for LLM and some prompting (both of which are actively worked on) and unlike normal software with LLM we have to run the evals to make sure that we don't regress.

I get the feeling you all are getting, and I do apologise for it.

[laz-001]

happy to refund

This is not about a refund.

(...) elaborations

I work with multiple tools in parallel, AIDE has the most problems of this kind, by far.

[theskcd]

yeah I hear you, I am not shifting blame btw, acknowledging it

[laz-001]

All good, friend. Just help us help you:

• [PROJECT] Release Tracking seems broken #1294
• [PRODUCT] Consider an AIDE Insider version #1293

[laz-001]

@ people that are complaining:

please take into account (like I do), that AIDE does not burn the credits like other agentic IDEs.

Yes, you get some crashes, but you have a really good deal: unlimited (fair use) calls.

[laz-001]

I did push fixes to our backend f

@theskcd could you please point me to the PR/commit? (stricly, it should "re" the issue-number here)

or this, hopefully it feels more stable for a while now

[theskcd]

codestoryai/sidecar@6ac0514 should fix most of these errors and more, please rage here if after reloading the editor and updating the sidecar the issue is still not fixed

[aneeshjain5]

The issue is still not fixed. Screenshot attached with date and time.

[theskcd]

can you confirm for me if you have restarted the editor and updated sidecar? you do need to do that for the latest changes to get pulled

[laz-001]

and updated sidecar?

how does one update the sidecar? (please remember: mostly the paying folks complains, we're not in the role "open-source developer").

[theskcd]

oh sorry my bad, I wish I could record the workflow but my editor is already updated.

steps to update the sidecar:

• restart the editor
• you will see a "New update available" beside sidecar on the assistant panel
• profit

[laz-001]

oh sorry my bad, I wish I could record the workflow but my editor is already updated.

yeah, just found it by accident.

hover the Sideψar connected' shows v0.1.35` for me now (after clicking).

I'll try tomorrow and report back.

[theskcd]

yup thats the version you want for the fixes

[laz-001]

yup thats the version you want for the fixes

i've updated the issue, so users see it immediately.

[aneeshjain5]

Yes I had restarted the editor. Updated the sidecar to version 0.1.35, yet the issue persists.

[nyigutof]

This problem is too much.

[nyigutof]

This problem is too much.

For last 2 months and no fix

[addanuj]

@theskcd when we should expect it to get fixed? Constantly gettting this error no mattar what you put in chat.

[laz-001]

@addanuj , you need to "click to update", right at "Sidebar connected".

(sidenote: use WIN-KEY + SHIFT + S, this activates a screenshot tool on windows usually)

[theskcd]

@nyigutof could you click the update sidecar button

[nyigutof]

@theskcd

[nyigutof]

@theskcd

same error on my side

[laz-001]

@nyigutof , seems you tried the vscode update under help menu.

you need to click the sidebar update:

[nyigutof]

@laz-001

i have no update

[surfer312]

i have no update..this fuckign sucks...

[laz-001]

i have no update

you had one, and executed it, screenshot it posted was a copy of yours here: #1296 (comment)

hover "Sidecar connected" should show you 0.1.35

[laz-001]

i have no update..this fuckign sucks...

close/open AIDE IDE, the look on sidecar corner

[laz-001]

I'll try tomorrow and report back.

I can confirm that after updating sidecar, i got today no error-messages till now.

@theskcd , this issue confirms one thing:

you need help to streamline your processes. You are currently far to fuzzy to create commercial dev-tools.

Your work is impressive - but your team lacks one thing: a streamlining master.
