Does my codebase leave my machine when using your extension with it?

Yes, some code is sent to Anthropic. We're hoping to: find initial users that are comfortable with software copilots (github copilot, cursor, etc) -> iterate on their feedback to make diagram generation require less sophisticated LLMs -> move everything locally
So we must trust both Anthropic's and your infrastructure with our code.
I agree that a local LLM is the way to go.

> If you'd like to try it out on a specific repo, you can always use our extension for further analysis. VSCode extension marketplace doesn't have the best security rails or reputation for security, and with this being closed source, just personally, installing and running it on my machine isn't something I'm comfortable doing. > The idea is that CodeViz can replace or augment search and directory tree by providing a…
Sounds good, thanks for the feedback! Would open-sourcing CodeViz change your willingness to give it a try? Definitely agree that rigor is a tricky term here, do you think the open-ended nature of C4 diagrams is a feature, not a bug? We've found in practice that top level diagram generation is both an art and a science, maybe it ought to stay that way. In any case, shooting you a PM to set up some time to chat, and t…
Yup. Or a web app that I can point to an open-source repo.
Regarding C4, I'm no expert. I know the guys at IcePanel, an earlier YC-cohort company (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34338995) that specializes in C4 diagrams, and they're very friendly, so if you haven't yet, they'll be much more equipped to chime in on C4 stuff.

Sent via your servers, I assume, since you are providing the Anthropic api key. So we must trust both Anthropic's and your infrastructure with our code. I agree that a local LLM is the way to go.
Local LLM is still the end goal
there is a codevis application in the open for almost two years. it generates large scale software visualization for c, c++ and fortran (but it accepts other languages as plugins). i am the main developer of this tool, and im a bit shocked that another tool with similar intent and same name exists. woyod you be ok for me to demo what codevis (the kde one) do to your team? you can reach me at tcanabrava at kde.org the…
