Looks like a nicely implemented product, unfortunately my experience with Claude is that it's no where near GPT-4 in terms of coding capabilities.

Does "Open"AI really have a near-monopoly on powerful AI tools these days? It seems like all of these various AI projects are just a wrapper / frontend that calls OpenAI APIs.

I think so but a few open models have closed the gap to maybe around 16% on HumanEval.

I would love to try this out, but I would like to see a headless version of the desktop app as I do all my programming over SSH.

There's an (experimental) Cody CLI: https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody/tree/main/cli. If you try it and like it, let us know over on that repo! (Or if by headless you just mean "editor extension only", just install the Cody VS Code extension and sign into Sourcegraph.com, and it'll work without the desktop app. The response quality will be slightly lower than if you have the desktop app, but we're working on that and it should be at parity soon.)

I used it for something and looks like without their desktop app it's meh.

We're working on rolling that all into the editor extension itself, so if you just have the Cody editor extension now, you'll see it getting better context. Can follow along at https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody .

Will that allow me to ask about certain files? and imports?

My first impulse with this new wave of tooling is to poke at the privacy policy, especially given there's only the free trial version available... https://about.sourcegraph.com/terms/cody-notice seems generally reasonable though, so that's appreciated. Wouldn't mind a more transparency/confirmation on who the partner LLM entities are (Anthropic?), and some verbiage on the downstream impacts of their terms. Should be…

According to the FAQ, "Cody has one third-party dependency, which is Anthropic's Claude API. In the config, this can be replaced with OpenAI API." https://docs.sourcegraph.com/cody/faq

Oobabooga and fastchat support openai compatible APIs so we can use cody with open source local LLMs?

We've got some experimental work to support that. Not merged yet, but you can follow https://github.com/sourcegraph/cody. I've been polling Twitter (https://twitter.com/sqs/status/1675433337354330113) to see how much people actually are using self-hosted LLMs for code completion already, and it seems like not much yet, but Code Llama with infill is a big advance that we're quite excited about.
