Augment Code

What is Augment Code about?

Augment Code provides a platform that combines a proprietary context engine with frontier LLMs (including GPT‑5 and Sonnet 4) to give developers real‑time, code‑aware AI assistance. It enables autonomous agents that can plan, write, test, and open pull‑requests, while also offering smart autocomplete, terminal command execution, and deep IDE integrations.

FAQ from Augment Code

Q: Which models does Augment Code support? A: It currently supports GPT‑5, Sonnet 4, and other frontier models via the Model Picker.
