Not sure what bedrock is, but last time I looked at their website it claimed it isn't available in my region. I'm in Ireland, so I interpreted that as "Not out yet".
Here is a list of countries Claude is available: https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/8461763-where-can-...
In particular, I haven't found any tools that can do either of the following:
- Comprehend a large codebase. All assistants seem to have a pretty narrow scope for the context, like the current file or few of its neighbors. E.g. they can write some code that already exists somewhere as a ready-to-use utility function, if this function isn't mentioned anywhere near to the location I'm working on.
- Automate anything. IDE integration is extremely minimal in everything I've seen so far. A copilot can spew a new version of the code piece that can be placed with a click, but that's the extent of it. It otherwise can't replace a human in the loop, even if the work is simple, trivial and highly repetitive. E.g. doing a regex-powered "replace all" still cannot be replaced with a natural language query.
- Do any repetitive work without making mistakes or hallucinating something. E.g. a copilot can try to generate an unit test for me and the overall structure can be quite decent, but I cannot ever be sure it won't miss or invent something if it involves creating some complex object and checking all its fields after some transformation.
In addition to paid subscriptions, you might want to consider running an LLM locally. One of a number of projects enabling this approach is "continue" - https://github.com/continuedev/continue
OpenAI API key with GPT4 plus aider[1]: https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider For reference against the actual product called “Copilot”, I would say this is actually useful, vs Copilot which I would use words like “glorified autocomplete” and “slightly better intellisense” to describe. Only really good for saving you some rote typing periodically. The primary limit with “aider” is the GPT4 context window, so really…
I love aider but it feels like a giant black box that consumes copious credits. The output is amazing though, so I keep using it. But I feel like I have no insight or control. Maybe I should read the docs more carefully.
For me, personally, Copilot is the best because you are typing and it is just suggesting. Very often I type something, wait 2 seconds for its answer (knowing it is going to get it right 80% of the time) and press tab. Sure, it misses a ton, but I see it as a great autocorrect that is always there trying to help. Now, copilot chat and everything else are very bad. I don't like them. If you are "intentional" I usually…
- Doesn't close brackets / adds too many closing brackets
- Spams completions while you're writing comments
- Doesn't auto import the required libraries after accepting a suggestion
- No multi cursor mode
- Refuses to name variables
- Refuses to trigger in the middle of a line
- Lower quality code than ChatGPT (probably because they use a smaller model)
Asking because I was also a heavy Github Copilot user but after 1-2 years of constant subpar UX and seemingly no effort from the Copilot team to fix it, I just went ahead and built my own extension that fixes all of the above: https://double.bot
Also it wasn't on your list but you mentioned GPT-4 is smart. You should try the new Claude 3 Opus, we implemented it on Monday and have been getting super positive feedback from users!
Have a look at StarCoder 2. And here's my db of 300+ LLMs: https://lifearchitect.ai/models-table/
I have been a big user of ChatGPT-4 ever since it came out. I have used in various forms. Through the chatbot, through GitHub Copilot etc. For the past year, I have looked high and low to see an alternative that performed better. Nothing came close. Until a few days ago with Anthropic released Claude 3. For software development work, it is very very impressive. I've been running GPT-4 and Claude 3 Opus side by side f…
How do you get access to Claude 3? It doesn’t seem to be available yet.
