Does anybody use Phind? What do you use it for?

I use it periodically for things that I'd typically search on google and then read stack overflow for. I started this workflow before chatgpt had web search, so might be irrelevant now, but I've found it decent. Back then it was nice to be able to see the sources vs chatgpt just giving a random answer from who knows where.

For me, the website says: "Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access phind.com"

I use it, with the phind models, instead of chatGPT. I had to change my user agent to Chrome since too many sites would refuse to work with FF otherwise, and now chatGPT is stuck in an endless captcha loop whenever I go there. I am just a casual user, to help write a quick script or to get some bit of relevant info. It works just as well or better for my use case, and of course having actual citations with links is worlds better than just playing "guess the hallucination". I am happy chatGPT kicked me out.

It would be nice to see the Phind Instant weights released under a permissive license. It looks like it could be a useful tool in the local-only code model toolbox.

Sure! I've contacted you.

Edit: It has been resolved for me. Thank you!

I was subscribed for about 6 months between the end of last year and beginning of this, but canceled and haven't looked back. The web interface was constantly buggy for me, and they seemed to be very focused on the VSCode extension without integrations for other editors, so I ended up canceling.
