Has anyone used both Tabnine and Copilot recently? Would like to know if compares to Copilot now.
Last time I checked(end of last year) Tabnine was a far inferior product.

#12Having just purchased copilot and a user of Tabnine in the past (using Phpstorm) here is my own personal opinion. The suggestions offered by Tabnine weren't anywhere good as copilot - not even by a long shot (at least for PHP and Javascript).
But almost an year has passed since I used this so I don't know if they have had a major update and the results are improved, but previously 1 out of 10 tabnine suggestions were barely useful, compared to 9 out of 10 with copilot.
Since it's a paid offering now I really hope they've upped their game.

#13I use Tabnine completion in JetBrains CLion when I write Rust code. I’ve found it to be quite useful. Haven’t tried GitHub Copilot yet, so don’t know how Copilot compares to it.

#14It’s good to see more players in this space.
Tabnine was around at least one year longer than Copilot though

#15I really want to love Tabine. I really, really do.
I gave it a fair chance, let it index my private personal projects, ran it on my personal machine to see how it worked. The results are... not great. I'm using IntelliJ, and Tabnine is arrogant enough to believe that their autocomplete is superior to the libraries autocomplete, even when completely wrong or it has no idea of its autocomplete. These are opensource libraries.
Their inline suggestions (per what Github Copilot) isn't great either. I've tried their different strength levels (their UI for their product is fantastic) and it's not great.
Github copilot when I first started was pretty good, over the last few months it's become amazing. I'm going to be giving my money to Github over Tabnine, but would prefer to give it to Tabnine.

#17For this specific comparison, it’s essential to start from the technology, as many of the product differences stem from the differences in approach, architecture, and technology choices. Microsoft and OpenAI view AI for software development almost as just another use case for GPT-3, the behemoth language model. Code is text, so they took their language model, fine-tuned it on code, and called the gargantuan 12-billio…

#18I had to uninstall Tabnine because its resource usage was unacceptable. Hopefully they've addressed that, because it was using way too much of my CPU at times that it shouldn't have been.

Just got done using Tabnine for about 2 months a month ago. Switched to Copilot. There's not much comparison.

#20I remember when Jacob Jackson’s (this kid is nothing less of a genius) tabnine project was posted on HN. Codota then bought tabnine and now they renamed themselves after this acquisition. Got me interested what Jacob is doing now. Looks like after his stint at OpenAI this is his new project: https://same.energy/
