Altimate Code Chat¶

Altimate MCP now includes Altimate Code Chat — built on the open-source data engineering harness Altimate Code with 100+ deterministic tools. #1 on ADE-Bench (74.4%) — the industry benchmark for AI data engineering agents by Benn Stancil and dbt Labs. Use AI-powered chat directly in your IDE to validate SQL, generate dbt models, analyze lineage, optimize costs, and more.

Getting started: Press Cmd+Shift+P (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows/Linux), type Altimate MCP, and select Altimate MCP: Open Altimate Code Chat.

Altimate LLM Gateway¶

Power your AI chat with the Altimate LLM Gateway — managed LLM access with dynamic routing across Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.6, GPT-5.4, and more. 10M tokens free to get started, no API keys to manage, and 60-80% cheaper than buying tokens directly from providers.

Prefer to use your own API keys? BYOK is always free and unlimited — use any of 35+ supported providers.
