CodeGen VS copilot

CodeGen (I included this model as there's some evidence in recent months that LLMs trained on code-related tasks better capture long-range dependencies compared to LLMs trained on 'just words')

https://github.com/salesforce/CodeGen these are used in fauxpilot https://github.com/fauxpilot/fauxpilot

You can always use https://github.com/salesforce/CodeGen . But it does require managing the model hosting. You can use fauxpilot to mimic copilot functionality https://github.com/fauxpilot/fauxpilot

freediver 2 days ago | prev | next [–] Here is an example of one general purpose open source LLM, probably the best you can get: https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox To manage your expectations it is nowhere as good as ChatGPT. If you are interested in programming only: https://github.com/salesforce/CodeGen

Replit built Ghostwriter on the open source scene based on Salesforce’s Codegen, using Nvidia’s FasterTransformer and Triton server for highly optimized decoders, and the knowledge distillation process of the CodeGen model from two billion parameters to a faster model of one billion parameters.

https://github.com/moyix/fauxpilot is working on an open source variant. Based on https://github.com/salesforce/CodeGen

I had the message: "Thank you for participating in the GitHub Copilot Technical Preview. Your extended access has ended." on https://github.com/settings/copilot, even though billing says "You are eligible to use GitHub Copilot for free".

That feature already exists, you can turn it on here:

https://github.com/settings/copilot

They will not retrothing ask for money. If you entered your CC details you better check it though https://github.com/settings/copilot

To enable GitHub Copilot, navigate to https://github.com/settings/copilot. This should bring you to a page with a button that prompts you to enable GitHub Copilot. Please note that you have free access to GitHub Copilot if you're a student.

To avoid license issues, we can opt out of Suggestions matching public code by selecting Block at https://github.com/settings/copilot then pressing Save.

You can disable from here: https://github.com/settings/copilot

FWIW, there are some (admittedly fairly naive) checks to prevent PII and other sensitive info from being suggested to users. Copilot looks for things like ssh keys, social security numbers, email addresses, etc, and removes them from the suggestions that get sent down to the client.

There's also a setting at https://github.com/settings/copilot (link only works if you've signed up for copilot) that will check any suggestion on the server against hashes of the training set, and block anything that exactly duplicates code in the training set (with a minimum length, so very common code doesn't get completely blocked). Users must choose the value for this setting when they sign up for copilot.

source: I work on copilot at github

I went here was able to do so: https://github.com/settings/copilot

I'm also late to this article, so maybe this was a bug that was fixed.

the URL is broken, it should be https://github.com/settings/copilot

Copilot steals your personal code. No, it does not. While copilot may use your code as Training data, you can also easily uncheck this option if you are really concerned (https://github.com/settings/copilot)
