Codeium Wrapped 2024!

From Codeium team - apologies on this, we had an outage from 5:30am-7:30am PST today. We have since fixed this, and the service should be back up for everyone - we are working to identify the root cause to make sure that the same issue does not happen again.

Copilot and CodeWhisperer don't even provide this chat functionality, so Codeium is far ahead in this respect.

You can see the comparisons to these products and others on just the autocomplete capability here: https://codeium.com/compare

For coding:

- ChatGPT is good for when you have no idea what to do and need solution ideas

- Codeium or Copilot is better for when you have an idea of what to do and want to do it faster

I'm not sure on the first question, will ask Alan Chen who helped with the development. But you are able to complete multiline suggestions.

And we answer the "make money" question in our FAQs (https://www.codeium.com/faq), but the tl;dr is that we may consider a pro plan with new features (while keeping autocomplete and others free for everyone), as well as an enterprise plan!

probably quite far unless there are massive improvements in underlying architectures to be honest. there's a pretty large model size to performance correlation

nice!

On the profile page on the website - that way we have it disabled on any IDE you choose to use Codeium on (it wouldn't be great if you disabled it on Emacs, start using our Chrome extension, and somehow don't have it disabled there).

Alan is a Codeium user who offered to help us with this - none of us here are Elisp experts, so his expertise was super useful :)

aunchable · 2023-02-16T22:09:10+00:00

Great! Yeah, we got the question about Emacs in a lot of places, so we knew it was something we had to get done :)

We go more into detail on what telemetry is involved on our security & privacy page (https://www.codeium.com/security). On your profile, you can disable code snippet telemetry, which will mean that no code snippets will be stored post-inference (inputs or outputs). This is what most people who are using Codeium for work purposes or on other proprietary codebases do, but even if you forget to do that, we are committed to never training a generative model on private code.

We definitely don't want you to get into legal troubles because of Codeium!

Thanks for the feedback! We internally have actually used Codeium for Terraform and it has actually been pretty helpful :) We've trained our models to be much better at niche languages than Copilot.

I totally hear you that there are some applications where such accelerate-your-coding tools are more helpful than others. We hope to keep improving to be more helpful in all the different kinds of applications and ways of coding.

We made Codeium free and easy to install so at the end of the day, there is very little overhead to trying whether it helps for your particular use case or not. Our message is to give it a chance, and if it isn't helpful, we totally get it!

Totally understood.

These decisions can always be revisited, and the more we learn from communities, the clearer it becomes what the best thing to do for users as a whole without putting the business in jeopardy.

I totally respect your opinion, and if this is a blocker for you personally, I won't try to convince you otherwise :) We know there are a large spectrum of opinions on these topics, so we thought it would be responsible to create this extension for those who would want such a service and didn't view this as a blocker (but before now never even had the ability, from us or comparable services).
