Tabnine has been doing this for years longer than copilot with more users and better ratings. Not a monopoly (except that MSFT has so much marketing clout). The LLM space that we b…

Does this change if the AI only uses fully permissive code? We took that approach at Tabnine and would be interested if the communities primary concern is disregard of licensing or…

It looks like you used Tabnine local only model in the past (awesome for security, connectivity) if you used it in "cloud only" mode you would see much lower CPU and get longer sni…

If you would like a custom model on your code (or language) this is one of the unique capabilities of Tabnine. We have done this on lots of code already and do it all the time for …

Ballpark guess is that to build CODEX it would be ~$10M.

Comment #31837819
A model is only as god as the code that it trains on and the people it learns from. In your example above we can build a custom model on "best practices" code and not the companies…
