 When a request is made to an OpenAI compatible endpoint, lama-swap will extract the `model` value and load the appropriate server configuration to serve it. If the wrong upstream server is running, it will be replaced with the correct one. This is where the "swap" part comes in. The upstream server is automatically swapped to the correct one to serve the request.

+# aider, QwQ, Qwen-Coder 2.5 and llama-swap
+
+This guide show how to use aider and llama-swap to get a 100% local coding co-pilot setup. The focus is on the trickest part which is configuring aider, llama-swap and llama-server to work together.
+
+## Here's what you you need:
+
+- aider - [installation docs](https://aider.chat/docs/install.html)
+- llama-server - [download latest release](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases)
+- llama-swap - [download latest release](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/releases)
+- [QwQ 32B](https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Qwen_QwQ-32B-GGUF) and [Qwen Coder 2.5 32B](https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct-GGUF) models
+- 24GB VRAM video card
+
+## Running aider
+
+The goal is getting this command line to work:
+
+```sh
+aider --architect \
+    --no-show-model-warnings \
+    --model openai/QwQ \
+    --editor-model openai/qwen-coder-32B \
+    --model-settings-file aider.model.settings.yml \
+    --openai-api-key "sk-na" \
+    --openai-api-base "http://10.0.1.24:8080/v1" \
+```
+
+Set `--openai-api-base` to the IP and port where your llama-swap is running.
+
+## Create an aider model settings file
+
+```yaml
+# aider.model.settings.yml
+
+#
+# !!! important: model names must match llama-swap configuration names !!!

+      --model /mnt/nvme/models/bartowski/Qwen_QwQ-32B-Q4_K_M.gguf
+```
+
+## Advanced, Dual GPU Configuration
+
+If you have _dual 24GB GPUs_ you can use llama-swap profiles to avoid swapping between QwQ and Qwen Coder.
+
+In llama-swap's configuration file:
+
+1. add a `profiles` section with `aider` as the profile name
+2. using the `env` field to specify the GPU IDs for each model
+
+```yaml
+# config.yaml
+
+# Add a profile for aider
+profiles:
+  aider:
+    - qwen-coder-32B
+    - QwQ
+
+models:
+  "qwen-coder-32B":
+    # manually set the GPU to run on
+    env:
+      - "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0"
+    proxy: "http://127.0.0.1:8999"
+    cmd: /path/to/llama-server ...
+
+  "QwQ":
+    # manually set the GPU to run on
+    env:
+      - "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1"
+    proxy: "http://127.0.0.1:9503"
+    cmd: /path/to/llama-server ...
+```
+
+Append the profile tag, `aider:`, to the model names in the model settings file
+
+```yaml
+# aider.model.settings.yml
+- name: "openai/aider:QwQ"
+  weak_model_name: "openai/aider:qwen-coder-32B-aider"
+  editor_model_name: "openai/aider:qwen-coder-32B-aider"
+
+- name: "openai/aider:qwen-coder-32B"
+  editor_model_name: "openai/aider:qwen-coder-32B-aider"
+```
+
+Run aider with:
+
+```sh
+$ aider --architect \
+    --no-show-model-warnings \
+    --model openai/aider:QwQ \
+    --editor-model openai/aider:qwen-coder-32B \
+    --config aider.conf.yml \
+    --model-settings-file aider.model.settings.yml
+    --openai-api-key "sk-na" \
+    --openai-api-base "http://10.0.1.24:8080/v1"
+```
