This doesn’t even come close to CodeCompanion[1], which doesn’t require any new LSP config/dependencies or filetype limitations.

There is no ability to share the current buffer(s) for context, no tool support. This seems like a checkbox release. You’re better off using CodeCompanion with Amazon Bedrock, which includes the added benefit of sovereignty.

CodeCompanion doesn’t have tab completion right? I love Neovim but Cursor’s tab completion is just next level and I haven’t found any nvim plugin that comes close to it.

GitHub Copilot nvim plugin[1] has autocomplete with ghost text, but of course it requires you use GitHub Copilot :)

Can't wait for my code being used as training data for Amazon to make a profit

I mean no one's forcing you to use Amazon's coding assistant if you hate Amazon. There are plenty of alternatives, both hosted and local, that you can use instead. Not to mention coding without an AI assistant, which is always available.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Isn’t that only the case for the free tier, which is only fair?

Yes but restating the obvious sometimes helps to underscore who provides free work for whom. In this day and age it is often the 'user' who does the free labor. Especially, when there was normalized narrative (even before LLMs - with the crowd source) that user is the one being served.

I totally agree with you. But the OP comment was not that, it was hinting at the fact it would always be used, as they did not add 'in the free tier only' to it.

So while restating the obvious in these cases is very good, it's also good to point out when.

This might be written somewhere, but you have to trust those words.

Most big players in the LLM field are getting their training data by at-least shady, if not illegal measures.

And if they don't care about laws on one side, why should anyone believe that they care on the other?

Amazon already uses their customers privat data to train models [1].

Nvim 0.12 (prerelease) also has ghost text with the "textDocument/inlineCompletion" LSP server capability[1]. Currently supported by the "copilot" config[2], but any LS that supports "textDocument/inlineCompletion" can be used (and the config[2] shows optional QoL improvements).
