> Instead, Codium, an algae genus, gets the sidebar slot while Codiaeum Variegatum, an (admittedly pretty) houseplant takes the fourth spot. That makes sense. I never heard of "Codeium" before. Perhaps "Codeium programing" can give a better result for a programing tool. https://www.bing.com/search?q=Codeium+programing [Edit: fixed name and bing link]

Solid comparison and interesting read for sure. What exactly is the business model though? It's always a red flag when "privacy respecting" and "free" are bundled together. I definitely _want_ to pay something for that type of service.
We answer this partially in the "How do you plan to make money?" question in our FAQ: https://www.codeium.com/faq tl;dr potential pro plan for additional features (keep autocomplete free) and enterprise offering
I'll sign up and take it for a spin.

Here's the blog post where we made the comparison: https://www.codeium.com/blog/code-assistant-comparison-copil... As a tl;dr there is very little reason to pay for Tabnine. Copilot is far superior in the realm of paid products, and Codeium is comparable to Copilot.
What are the plans for Codeium to be sustainable? I don't think how it will be free forever if it really competes with Copilot.

There's no way of really knowing. Bing is a black box with no transparency, like most search engines.
One thing though: `Codeium` seems like a generic and vague word. Also I won't remember how to spell it because of the weird `e` before the `i`. I can see why Bing has trouble even recognizing the word. It's optimizing for the correct spelling. Try a rebrand, something catchy, and not something that has a hundred other words that sound like it.
Start with a robots.txt? https://www.codeium.com/robots.txt Update: I also see that you serve your site off GitHub... so that might be part of it as well? Bing might not index those sites?
If you turn of JS there's almost no actual text on the site; only the FAQ has any serious amount of text. This probably doesn't help. Having the page open also really slows down my laptop and constantly uses ~50%-75% CPU and ~130M memory. No idea if that's a factor, but it takes quite a lot of computing resources to actually make the homepage render any text and perhaps Bing doesn't deal well with that (and even then, it's not all that much text).
Admittedly I have a somewhat slow laptop, but I can't recall the last time merely opening a webpage slowed down my machine this much, and this includes webapps, so it's really an outlier.
Either way, Microsoft specifically blocking it is the least likely explanation by far.
Another example I recently ran into: Windows Ameliorated (a set of scripts for heavily trimming Windows 10), famously featured on Linus Tech Tips. Search Google for it, you get the website link as first result. Search Bing... you'll never find the website for it. You will find the archive.org ISO Download link, but https://ameliorated.info will never be returned.
