What is it?

Minuet is a Lua plugin for Neovim that requests code completions from large language models as you type. It supports chat-based models such as OpenAI, Claude and Gemini, as well as fill-in-the-middle (FIM) completion for models like Codestral, DeepSeek, and Qwen served through Ollama, llama.cpp, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Suggestions can be displayed through several frontends: Minuet's own virtual text, nvim-cmp, blink.cmp, Neovim's built-in completion, or mini.completion. Multi-line suggestions can be accepted line by line. The plugin calls the provider over curl and does not run a separate background binary.

Requests are controlled by settings for debounce, throttle, timeout and context window size, and streaming is supported so that slower models can still return partial results.

Key features

  • 01Completion from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Codestral, Ollama, llama.cpp and OpenAI-compatible services
  • 02Fill-in-the-middle completion for models that support it, such as DeepSeek and Qwen
  • 03Multiple frontends: virtual text, nvim-cmp, blink.cmp, built-in completion and mini.completion
  • 04Line-by-line acceptance of multi-line suggestions
  • 05Streaming responses, with configurable debounce, throttle and timeout

Use cases

  • Getting inline AI code suggestions in Neovim while using a hosted API key
  • Running completion fully locally with Ollama or llama.cpp and a small coding model
  • Comparing different LLM providers for code completion without switching editors

Quick start

  1. 1

    Install with rocks.nvim

    Rocks install minuet-ai.nvim
  2. 2

    Call require('minuet').setup with your options in your Neovim config (lazy.nvim example in the README)

  3. 3

    Provide an API key for a supported AI provider, or run a local model such as Ollama or llama.cpp

  4. 4

    Add a frontend such as virtual text, nvim-cmp, or blink-cmp as described in the Quick Start section

Things to know

  • Requires an API key for at least one AI provider, or a self-hosted model server.
  • Next-edit prediction via the duet commands is highly experimental.
  • Licensed under GPL-3.0, a copyleft license that requires derivative works to remain open source.
