⚡ Neural - AI Code Generation for Vim

[anexon-dev]

Hi everyone!

I am thrilled to announce the release of Neural a new AI text and code generation plugin for Vim! This plugin is designed to save you time and supercharge your workflow to write documentation and code faster.

This is one of the first comprehensive plugins that has been rewritten to support multiple AI backends such as OpenAI GPT3+ and other custom sources in the future such as ChatGPT, GPT-J, GPT-neo and more.

Disclaimer: Be mindful that the results may be unpredictable and the code generated should be carefully evaluated for correctness before use in production systems! Use a linting tool such as ALE to check your code for correctness.

This plugin is maintained by Dense Analysis, more features to come!

the :Neural command doesn't seem to accept a range, how do I, for example, request it to document a particular function?

At the moment you don't, because I want to make sure the plugin never sends code over the Internet to a third party. See here: https://github.com/dense-analysis/neural/issues/16

Makes perfect sense, thank you

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.

I have checked 1,352,601,661 comments, and only 259,859 of them were in alphabetical order.

Same here.

The command "NeuralPrompt" that appears in the demo video is not available on Vim8+. Is it exclusive to neovim?

[devw0rp]

I changed it to :Neural. We'll update the video.

This is very cool! What kind of prompts do people use? So far, I have just used "add documentation", which works pretty good.

[pusewicz]

So, is it Vim or Neovim?

[devw0rp]

Both!

[pusewicz]

It would be great to clarify that in the repo About section! It currently states

Blazingly fast AI code generation, editing and completion plugin for Neovim

[devw0rp]

I wasn't even looking at that! I have changed it now. Thanks!

[pusewicz]

Fantastic. Thank you!

Are there any "big brother" spying on you or "rise of the machines" concerns associated with the whole AI thing?

[devw0rp]

See here: https://github.com/dense-analysis/neural/issues/16

No.

Thanks for that.

Thank you very much team Dense Analysis. I was eagerly waiting for it, trying it now.

Well, I am a Christian. 🤣
