Does this involve uploading the git project to Supermaven and code completions are done in the cloud or is all this running locally? Or is it hybrid where there’s some cloud processing and inference happens locally?

All the processing happens in the cloud. It will upload the git repository you use it on. We retain the data for a maximum of 7 days.

Impressed by the completion speed. It really changes everything... again. Do you have plans to add a chat feature and IntelliJ plugin?

Glad to hear it. We'll add an IntelliJ plugin next week.

We may add a chat feature if we can make one good enough that we're happy with the quality.

Off topic, but do you have any plans for same.energy? No image search tool has surpassed it even after two years.

I'm happy to hear that. I don't have any specific plans for same.energy at the moment other than to keep the site up.

- No details at all on the official extension page in VSCode - I bite the bullet and try anyway - No immediate confirmation after setup - Only one configuration option (log file path) - After I start typing into a buffer, the onboarding notification requires sign-in - Sure, why not - "Link to IDE?" - heck yeah, let's finally go - Sign up for a trial - um... - Requires a CC for a 30-day free trial

Respectfully, this is a terrible experience.

Sorry. We should be more clear about the CC being required to sign up for the free trial.

Agreed - I've only been using it for a few minutes so can't form a definitive opinion on quality (though it seems good) but it feels faster than intellisense. Extremely impressive on that front.

Whose code is it trained on? Do you respect their software licences?

next you'll say I need a license to read your comment because I'm copying it in my mind. Crazy!

Asking what the training data was, is valid. Knowing what these AI are trained on is to everyone's benefit.

All the processing happens in the cloud. It will upload the git repository you use it on. We retain the data for a maximum of 7 days.

Your privacy policy[0] doesn't seem to mention any of this. How is the data being used? I'm not very certain about inputting my data into any tool that uploads to cloud and there's no valid privacy policy

We should update the site to be clearer about this. There is a 7-day data retention limit listed in https://supermaven.com/pricing.
