#Alright, so similar to how Phind uses

yes, command is a proprietary model. we've been hard at work making improvements to it over the last few weeks so you should see some improvement soon.

Just curious, which benchmarks would you want to see? And which feature of Phind is this? we're focusing on writing longer blocks of code in the context of your repo with command, and my impression is that Phind is really good at searching the public internet and they aren't focusing on your repo

Hey @slender portal , thank you so much for reaching out and sharing your invaluable knowledge with me!

Let me begin by addressing which Phind feature I'm referring to. Phind has a VSCode extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=phind.phind), which has the following feature:

With code selected, press Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + M to automatically rewrite the selection based on your instructions.

This is essentially what Codeium offers, but your keyboard shortcut is [Cmd + Shift + I] 😉.

Now about the "benchmark". Maybe that's the wrong way of saying that "I'd love to know which of these features with their respective proprietary models perform the best." This is essentially the main feature that interests me! ☺️

Thanks for sharing this! I’m interested to play around with it. As comparisons go, we’ll come up with something to share once we finish this round of improvements to our model. Evaluating models like this is quite difficult, especially when both ours and theirs are proprietary.

Cheers man, I'd be more than happy to be kept in the loop! Let me know if I can help in any way!

#

While we're at it @slender portal ; is it possible to deactivate autocomplete suggestions fully? I know one can deactivate it for comments, but is it possible to do the same everywhere? I'd use Codeium for Command and not autocomplete suggestions (I find it to be a bit aggressive and more often than not makes me forget what I was actually planning on coding hehe). How would I go about to achieve this?

yes, assuming you're in vs code since we're talking about command. in settings.json you can add the following:

        "*": false,
    },

this keeps the chat codelenses and you can still use command

#

Also I'd be interested to know your thoughts on where we can improve the quality of command's suggestions. is there anywhere it's lacking right now? what kinds of things are you using it for?

Thank you tons!

Yeah, I believe there are some things that could be improved.

From an actual UX/feature POV it's better than it's competition. Phind's version is way more barebones with very little feedback about what is happening with the instruction etc. I think Codeium Command does wonders there.

However, I took them both for a spin yesterday evening, and I found Phinds implementations to beat Codeium consistently (both on their free plans).

I think the main thing I believe Phind did better was its context awareness. When I asked Codeium to write a function, it managed to write it and left placeholder values for the granular parts of it. Phind's model managed to grasp where this information could be found within the codebase and fully implemented a solution that worked out of the box.

All in all; Codeium Command seems to provide accurate, but contextually irrelevant implementations. Phind provides accurate and contextually relevant implementations.

I was a little bit let down there sadly, since I want to be able to consider myself a Codeium user - but I ended up deactivating the extension and returning to Phind... for now! ☺️

thanks for the feedback! we're working on better context awareness for command right now so I'll circle back when that's been deployed so you can try it out

Sounds amazing, thank you and please feel free to keep me in the loop of whatever release you think is interesting for me to be aware of! I'm more than happy to test and help!
