👋 Goodbye, CoPilot! Hello, Codeium!

- I've paid for Github CoPilot for more than a year, but just switched to Codeium after ~10 days. It’s looking like a decision that will stick.

Hei Chris I just want to ask: when did you make the blog tutorial? I've been waiting.
How have I never heard of this yet? This looks amazing! I'll use this on personal projects
Seriously! I heard about it on syntax fm.
Have you tried Phind? Similar to this, specially the sidebar. It does not have inline autocomplete though.
Huh. I haven’t!
Is there a way to set the whole project folder as context? If I understand correctly, it always uses the current file.
I’m actually not sure?
If using Codeium for privacy, it might also be good to use VSCodium for the same reason. It might take some work to install and run the extension, but should work well enough.
Is VSCodium a fork of VSCode?
Yes. I tried it for a bit. Most extensions worked fine, unless they require access to MS servers, like Live Share.
Unfortunately my experience was a lot worse. The quality of code and suggestions was not as good vs co-pilot :(
Hopefully mine sticks! So far I’m liking it at least as much.
I am finding that Claude 3 Opus in an open browser window is more helpful that an integrated assistant in my editor. It lacks the context and repo access, but it learns quickly through the continuing conversation.
I agree each place has its use case. I mostly use codium for writing small functions I already know how to write and just don’t want to take the time to manually write out. I use Raycast’s GPT to discuss code patterns im not yet sure how to solve.
For me it's the reverse. I cannot live with assistants that don't have context and auto completion.
@@tinusg Well here's the thing. There is context after a fashion because you can keep adding to a conversation and Claude just keeps on learning. I keep a single conversation going for each project. Start by uploading the relevant files. It's not the same as having full access to the project and repo, but on the other hand Claude 3 Opus is totally blowing GPT-4 out of the water for coding suggestions. I still have Github copilot, but mainly just for git commit messages now lol.
@@losource I actually find gpt to be vastly superior to opus when it comes to a bit more complex code like real time or fully featured languages such as cpp, or in complex algorithms etc. Opus will go for the naive approach and it's good if the language limits your expressability as in python, but not when you can consider more sophisticated paradigms.
One minuto and a half into the video and you already convinced me I don't need copilot anymore
Yeah, we’ll see! I had already paid through June…so we’ll see if I restart copilot again. Right now I technically have access to both, but am just using codium rn. And currently, I won’t renew GitHub copilot.
Have you tried Cursor? How would this compare to Cursor?
I haven’t!
@@CodinginPublic I’d love to see a video of you comparing these AI coding tools if you can! Thanks for the reply 😊
does it consume heavy memory? like tabnine for example
Not noticeably in my experience?
Thank you for sharing this and not keeping this to yourself.
Sure thing!
i think command i works in copilot too not sure
we can hire this guy as wolworine after hugh jackman or as stunt double
Thanks for this video. I've started using it but I can't find the conversations I had. Are the chats not saved here?
You're welcome! It should keep your chat history in the sidebar?
Cool thanks
Sure thing!
After a bit (a lot) of trouble, I installed it for Neovim in NixOS. It works really well with custom keybindings, and the language server is quite responsive. I am a bit doubtful about their pricing model being sustainable though. Awesome video as always!
Huh, cool! Yeah, we’ll see if it’s sustainable for pricing.
Last time they killed Cortana…next is Copilot, it’s just a matter of time
lol is Microsoft the new Google?
love from India❤❤
WOW!
If it's good enough for you, it's good enough for me.
🎉
Yeah, so far I’m a big fan! Let me know what you think!
been using codeium for the past year or so. mine's errored out right now and has been for a while and I honestly don't care that much **edit: just checked - i just didn't bother installing it on this new laptop...
it's a pretty good auto complete. Kind of. i might reinstall it. had been hoping copilot was a step above, but obviously not? shame. i can't remember the last time codeium actually helped me solve a bug though. gippity 3.5, 100%.
maybe this video will highlight that it's me being useless 🤷♂
I think it depends on what you use these things for. For me, I mostly use AI in-editor for writing small, dumb functions I know how to write but don’t want to take the time to write. Longer coding discussions about code take place outside my editor. Not sure why I’ve done it like that, but it seems to help!
can you please make some videos on reactjs reusable component please sir
I’ve done a few videos on react. I should do some more!
@@CodinginPublicyes sir make more videos on reusable components. Apart from that you're great teacher ♥️♥️
Backdoor promotion
Ha, nope. I’ve only ever had a few sponsors and I’m insistent on making those super clear. It’s in the description and disclosed explicitly in the video.
0:58 random company offers “free forever” while external analysts estimated, and was later confirmed, that github co-pilot - despite charging users - is losing about 20 USD per User per month. So, explain to me like I am five, why any sane software engineer should turn their back on a company and team that has a 1+ decade track record in supporting the software engineering practice in exchange for … this?
Competition is always beneficial for consumers.
If the results are as good and it's free, why not? Am I missing something?
Like I said, we’ll see…
I heard a really good interview on syntax fm podcast. And it seems like they’re able to offer this. But we’ll see…
We can do it more easily with gpt or Gemini. I think copilot is best
That's fair. It'll still be a bit before I think we figure out how to use all these tools.
the code completion is amazing. just started writing a loader for my project, after writing the header it gave me a good suggestion based on just the function name and the params (opening the file I think). TAB, ENTER, next line, another good suggestion TAB, ENTER, it ended up writing the whole thing!
Great to hear!
Is it just me, or did Codeium get worse? Are they merging more tokens now since more people are using it?
Hmm. Haven’t noticed that? But it’s possible. I think these things will still take a while to be consistently helpful
Having some dumb AI chat directly in your IDE is the worst idea for real life development. I use plain and simple free GPT and only if Ilike suggested code I can copy it to the project. I will never let AI randomly change existing working code, it is just absurd idea..
There are levels of integration. It’s certainly possible to go too far. But we’re all still figuring out the right level and we’ll draw different lines. Obviously, the most important thing is to be the ultimate author of your code and know what it does.
@workspace is not that bad at copilot.
