any good github copilot alternatives?
Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I'm using VSCode but not wedded to it.
You're viewing a single thread.
Jetbrains Fleet is about to roll out their own AI assistant and it looks very promising.
Fairly skeptical about Jetbrains' Model, so it's basically a wait and see.
from the FAQ:
How much will AI Assistant cost in JetBrains IDEs? The AI assistant is currently free to use during the preview phase. We’ll be providing the licensing and pricing model at a later date.
It looks as though it would be similar to github - they host the model and you pay a subscription for real time access while you're coding.
Still, I'd feel ideologically more at peace paying Jetbrains for IDE-as-a-service than I do slinging github a hundred smackers just to use their model from somebody else's IDE.
A public / open source solution would be ideal.
I know, just not sure the quality it offers and I am 99% sure that they train it on the piles which is a huge nearly 1 petabyte dataset that includes GitHub code. They are likely doing the same thing GitHub did when training copilot.
