Amazing product! Got the Vim plugin up and running in just a couple of minutes. The code completion is on par with Copilot and the fact that this is free makes it even more incredible. Kudos to the team!

@aravind_srinivasan Great to hear you got it up and running so quickly, we definitely worked hard to make the setup process super easy and fast (and because it is free, we don't ask for credit card or other payment information!) Happy coding!

Been using Codeium with VSCode for a while now and & it's always magic when it gets what I'm just about to write! Code completions are fast. The developers are great & always responsive to issues in the Discord! They're always making updates - loving the progress & kudos to the team! 💪

I have the Codeium extension for VS Code installed. This is a great tool with a promising future. I've seen the suggestions improve in just these few weeks. There's no reason *not* to create an account and try it, since you're getting the option to use it free for as long as Codeium is around. I've been bugging my friends and colleagues to sign up. Even if your employer won't let you use it, you can use it on your personal stuff; if you're wary of the telemetry, sign up and *don't* use it, just see how it plays out... you can start using it later when you feel comfortable. I was on the Copilot beta and, overall, Codeium suggestions are right about where they were. There are some weak spots at the moment -- suggestions in C# can look like Java, suggestions in Perl can be a bit rudimentary -- but I expect these to improve. To take a couple of other random examples, the PHP and CSS suggestions are pretty good even though they aren't "featured" areas of expertise like Python and JS. Be smart and sign up, it's free.

@thuris1 "Be smart and sign up, it's free" - love that line!! We know that we won't be able to convince everyone by words alone, so we made the opportunity cost of trying it for yourself (the ultimate test) essentially zero

This is sick!

@maanav_khaitan Haha we think so too :)

Kudos @anshulr . Such a well-thought-out product. Eliminating time on boilerplate codes and letting engineers focus on the game changing / novel stuff is such a fantastic idea :) Just curious - Is there any way for the recommender to check the sanity of its suggestions? Is there an in-built execution to check if the suggestion runs for every command it suggests?
Anshul Ramachandran
@manas_singh6 thanks for the positive words! we don't have in-built execution, but that is purposeful - we want the programmer to be in control, and creating execution checks will more likely cause developers to not pay attention to the code being generated. Codeium generates code in digestable chunks, which developers can quickly verify, accept, and continue on from, and we think that is the best kind of interaction between developer and AI!

@anshulr Makes sense :)

Been using Codeium for months on VSCode! Literally just used it to write a bunch of TypeScript boilerplate. I never used Copilot because I didn't feel like paying for it, but it's been cool to experience the magic of a code completion tool. Look forward to improvements and new features. :)
