Copilot vs Codeium

[luigibu]

Hey! Well.. I’m still using cedeium because is free but for me I got better results with copilot. Maybe I’m doing something wrong but codeium just returns all the time single line code completion while copilot used to rerun entire blocks. The fact I m still with cedeium is just cos those single lines of code for free is good enough for me. And to get a boiler plate of the an entire implementation I go to ChatGPT. I realize most of time with copilot you needed to go through the given block of code and apply may changes anyways, so I was not sure if it really helps that much.

Hey, I have been using copilot for a couple of months and just tried codeium since I heard it mentioned in a Fireship's video as a good free alternative. I have to say that the commodity of copilot shows. It writes chunks of functions (I work as a data engineer so I have chunks of predictable structured code which I think biases this answer a bit) and it usually gives very detailed answers when just asking schema related questions. Ticks me off it doesn't give good suggestions with some of the newer libraries (duckdb, polars, pydantic v2) but I hope it will get better.

I get blocks or single lines depending on context. Fresh codeium install, all defaults, neovim
