I’ve been using it the past few days. It’s both magical and terrible. They do their own terminal management so you’re fighting env issues that make no sense. It somehow spawns a terminal that can’t find my installed version of node, so then it asks me to brew install one, but will this now screw up my system or no? It’s an uncanny valley moment where it’s close, but also not really there. Hopefully the team can quickly improve this UX and use the native terminal functionality as the foundation of how they interact with the system. Show 1 reply

How can it tackle complex tasks independently if it is completely in sync with the user every step of the way?

The marketing copy seems to promise contradictory properties.

Tbh while and after watching the video, I wasn't sure if the whole thing isn't just a parody of AI companies. Show 1 reply

Any idea how Codeium is able to provide users with unlimited access to Sonnet and 4o for only $10 per month? I can easily blow through $10 in API credits from either of them. Is that price going to be sustainable? Show 1 reply

I wanted to watch the video, but the keyboard typing being the loudest part of the video made it rather hard to listen.

I wonder if a tool exists to strip keyboard noise from YouTube videos?

I've been using Codeium's vscode extension (have also tried out vim & emacs 'extensions') and it's my favorite (out of the free ones - that is)

the ctrl-shift-i for "inline chat - sort of", generate docstrings, control over context, I dunno, a couple small details that make it a little better.

I don't know what model they use but it's quite fast and I don't personally notice an "iq penalty" although I'm sure there is one

Does anyone know if there's a similar flag as in Cursor that makes sure the local code isn't used for training?

It's a cool idea but i really don't see how this is any diff from Cursor IDE. It might have features that are totally diff from Cursor but visually looking it just looks to me exactly like Cursor Show 1 reply

How is this different from cursor? Show 2 replies

for the cynical folks, Codeium has been publishing blogposts with me on AI product thinking and its been remarkable to watch as someone with no vested interest:

yes, they started with "another copilot", and had one of the best years in code for enterprise ai this year.

here they are starting with "another cursor".

see the pattern?

Can you write, compile and debug c++ with that?
