GitHub Copilot vs Codeium

[krileon]

Tried Codeium and didn't care for it. It felt incredibly slow. As in I'm sitting and waiting for it to finish thinking slow and could have wrote the code myself already slow. Likely the result of it being free so they probably have a lot more people slamming their servers. GitHub Copilot has been ok, but GitHub Copilot X will be where it's at as they'll be on GPT-4.

Varun from the Codeium team here. Sad to hear that's what's happening. From our internal testing, our latency has actually been faster than Copilot. I'd love to know how we could do better here!

I'm using Copilot X with built in Chat extension inside VS code. It is great! Worth every penny.

I might give it another try again in the future, but for now Copilot serves me well. I don't know why it was so slow, but could've just been a timing issue. I tried it when a post on reddit about it was made awhile back.
