    I am biased but the update Tabnine made in the last 6 months are very interesting.

    Tabnine can train on your codebase for you AND your team. It is secure then to only you and the team you add.

    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…

    Yes we at Tabnine have been at this for 7+ years and we believe that this is the current best solution. Only train on fully permissive code and then specialize those models private…

    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…

    Clarification - a user can run Tabnine on their laptop only OR as a part of Tabnine Enterprise we can run the large cloud models in your VPC (on GPU's) for your entire team of deve…

    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 …

    Good feedback and thank you for taking the time to share

    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…

    The code-search application is completely distinct from the IDE-assistant application. They do not share any code, have completely different pipelines for training the backend and …

    it is likely that for the stuff you are paid for a custom model might be a better fit.

    it is a question we are always asking but not sure what people would do if they were open-sourced. Did you have a specific use case in mind?

    Comment #31834810

    Cost wise the biggest spend is building the large model (CODEX for Copilot). While CODEX is close sourced there are a number of other good open source transformer models from SFDC …

    please take a look at inline suggestions that will be in grey and not in the regular autocomplete box. It is now the default setup.

    Would you be willing to share your concerns about the EULA? The pricing question is something we are currently discussing as you can imagine. It is surprising that our EULA was a p…

    Comment #31834603

    my guess given that I do not have significant karma points is that this is a subject that millions of devs are trying to understand more deeply (a million plus for both Tabnine and…

    no need to worry we love good feedback here at Tabnine ;-) Your observations are appreciated. In this case we are using general code and not a custom model but if you would like a …

    feel free to turn off local completely. The bursts you are seeing is building a local transformer model on your computer. For enterprises and developers that dont want their data t…

    Appreciate the feedback and looks like you are clearly in the developer group that wants very fast small useful completions. Can you share the modifications that you made and perha…
