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

Cursor doesn't edit files directly last time I checked.

#13Does anyone know if there's a similar flag as in Cursor that makes sure the local code isn't used for training?

#14Tbh while and after watching the video, I wasn't sure if the whole thing isn't just a parody of AI companies.
Felt like I was watching Silicon Valley.

#15for 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:
https://latent.space/p/enterprise
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?

#16Any 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?

Of course it's not going to be sustainable.

#19I'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…
Which other extensions have you tried? I've been experimenting with Cline and Continue.dev recently. Continue seems to be the winner for now, but I may give Codeium and Windsurf a try.

Of course it's not going to be sustainable. My idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing
+ I guess it's not really fully unlimited
