I just wanted to add, that as pure open source alternatives, there are
* fauxpilot
* and tabbyML
out there.

Wow 😨 I work with copilot daily and really I don't see a differenc in terms of quality of the suggestions

Is not bad actually. Now they have code awarness for your entire project so it gives even better results.

dude so cool thanks for sharing this info!

[noveehl]

Thank you for your work. Can I know what your editor's theme is?

Can it suggest multiple lines like copilot or just complete the current line?

Nice, I just tested it. However, the loading times are aweful. It adds 700ms to my startup. I have set it to be loaded on InsertEnter, so I have the lag just once when I really want to type. Any suggestions how to improve that? Is it because they are doing a login api call at the begining?

It is wired that my neovim just hanging after installing this plugin, maybe it may install the codeium sever. Would do mind share the video about how to set all this thing up?

does codeium work offline aswell or will my code be broadcasted to whoever runs the AI?

[otko]

This looks like another paid service (free for early users), which makes total sense, although a really free alternative to copilot would be so much better.

What is the shortcut key to accept suggestions? For some reason, when I click on tab, it gives me a space instead of accepting the suggestion by Codeium.

Why is having a discord account a requirement?

You should use light theme on your tutorials. Some of us are using smaller screens to watch your videos. Dark screens do not display as clearly as light themes do. A large computer monitor may (in fact it does) display dark theme better than small ones do. Besides, the brightness of a large monitor can be adjusted if it is too bright.
