“The most intelligent AI code generation tool out there and we have the data to prove it.”
been using for a few weeks; it’s quite competitive to copilot only coming shy of supermaven in speed and performance

These things cost money to run, so how are they offering it for free? Who’s paying for it? How do they profit from our using it? What’s the catch?
Edit: Someone else here found that the license basically means all the code you write with it becomes theirs. Seems like we found the catch.

Bahaha if this is true, then this tool is basically pathetic as it’s almost completely useless.
I’m using GitHub Copilot and haven’t dug into the license. It’s possible I’m technically handing all my code over to Microsoft.
You mean our code?
It’s all just the same shit copy pasted from StackOverflow from 1998 😂
Nice. Another model trained on GPL code.
I switched from Copilot to Codeium after only a couple of months of Copilot use - just based on the cost since currently I’m just a hobby coder.
The main difference I’ve noticed is that Codeium doesn’t seem as smart about the local context as Copilot. Copilot would look at how I’m handling promises in a project, and stick to that, whereas Codeium would choose a strategy seemingly at random.
A second, and maybe more telling example, is that I do my accounts using ‘plain text accounting’ in VS Code. This is a very niche approach to accounting software and I imagine is hardly in the training sets at all - there certainly would not be a lot of public domain text accounts in the particular format (BeanCount) I use in public code repositories. Codeium doesn’t make any suggestions for entries as I’m entering transactions, whereas Copilot would see that the account names I’m using are present in another file in the project and suggest them, and very quickly figure out the formatting of transactions and suggest them correctly.
Someone suggested I try Supermaven yesterday, it’s got some good benefits over competitors. It has a 300,000 token context length so it can send a very large amount of context for your completions, and it has an extremely fast API response time (usually less than 200ms) so completions appear near-instantly as you’re typing.
It’s the first “copilot-like” tool I’ve used, and I’ve only been using it for a day, but so far I’m liking it. And I’ve already signed up for the $10/month pro plan.
after some trial and error and time, this is what I actually use as well personally, it’s vastly superior in speed and context. I second this recommendation!
How big is the context window for the free version? I haven’t found any information about it.
yea they don’t seem to mention it anywhere :/
Sounds interesting, I’ve never used copilot and I’m not a programmer by profession (I just write a few scripts here and there for data analysis or experiment control), but I’m interested in checking this out. Has anyone here tried it? I’m worried it’ll get in my way more often than it helps.
I have been able GPT4 to do some basic scripting, but gpt3.5 did not succeeded anything for me. The first plan with gpt4 is 12bucks a month.
If you only code not often, continue.dev is good alternative plugged to a provider like together (using Llama 3 70b a few times and cost me 0.01$). They also announced a partnership with mistral but didn’t tried it.

Gpt-4o (the newest model) is free for a limited number of messages.
I haven’t tested it on programming yet. Have you tried it? How is it?
I messed around with it a little bit. I never used gpt-4 so I can’t say how much better it is, but it worked really well and only required some minor tweaking on my part.
Thanks for your inputs <3
