copilot.el VS codeium.vim

Yeah and there's already a well-known (at least I already knew about it) package started in 2022 called "copilot" for Emacs that is actually a client for GitHub Copilot: https://github.com/zerolfx/copilot.el

Given the lack of namespacing in Elisp (or, rather, the informal namespacing conventions by which these two packages collide) it's unfortunate that this package chose the same name.

It's a package to integrate Bigcode/Starcoder into Emacs like https://github.com/zerolfx/copilot.el does with Github Copilot.

It's not fancy with previewable overlays and stuffs as https://github.com/zerolfx/copilot.el and I am not so sure if the performance is optimal, but it gets the bare job done.

Unfortunately, the only way I've managed to get code completion working without having to use the C-c ' buffer is through the unofficial copilot.el. The good news is that it work for any language (including elisp literate configs) but it's a little too aggressive on it's completions.

I'm trying out github copilot with this package: https://github.com/zerolfx/copilot.el, configured like this:

that was enough for this to work from https://github.com/zerolfx/copilot.el

Devs could use the unofficial plugin for Emacs (https://github.com/zerolfx/copilot.el) as a guideline to add support

Codeium (https://codeium.com) | Software Engineer | Mountain View, CA | Full-time | Onsite

We're working on AI tools for developers (autocomplete, chat, and more unannounced things). We train our own LLMs from scratch and have over 1M downloads across our surfaces. We have many paying enterprise customers and have raised a total of $93M from Kleiner Perkins, Greenoaks, and Founders Fund.

We're hiring for many roles, but in particular are looking for software generalists and Deployed Engineers, which are more heavy on the customer interaction than code (https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/codeium/fd2ca49f-ae99-487c-8a52-75d...). No ML or systems experience required. We also have fall software engineering internships available.

You can see all the open roles and apply here (we pretty much look at every single application): https://codeium.com/careers

New Editor Extensions: Codeium, a free alternative to GitHub Copilot for individual users. Enhance your coding experience without breaking the bank.

Varun from the Codeium team here. Everything we send is so that we can return back the best completion for the user. Our extension is actually open source and has had external contributions - https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.vim and you can see what we are sending from the editor.

There is also Codeium: - Official (vimscript) plugin: https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.vim - Community lua-cmp-plugin: https://github.com/jcdickinson/codeium.nvim

this is really cool and well done. i will start using it in conjunction with Codeium's plugin (free Copilot alternative): https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.vim

for transparency: I'm from the Codeium team, and we are big fans of getting this AI gen tech to all developers on all IDEs for free - we've also open sourced an emacs plugin: https://github.com/Exafunction/codeium.el
