Copilot isn’t bad. Roo Code is an open source cursor alternative that works with VS Code. I like it more than Cursor. Much heavier than only tab completion though

* in an editor other than vscode, for me anyway was important. In my testing Supermaven was the best in nvim. Copilot is... fine I guess.

Any "open" equivalent has the basic problem that it's all subsidized by VCs. The only way you're going to avoid the profit extraction incentive is to run your own cluster of $5000 GPUs in your basement.

Roo Code is excellent

At Kilo (VScode plugin, BYOK so works with Claude Pro) we just rolled out autocomplete to 10% of our user base on Friday and we're happy with what we're seeing. The autocomplete is based a Mistal model (Codestral) that is fast and accurate https://mistral.ai/news/codestral We copied a lot of code from Continue.dev (best open source autocomplete in our view). We plan to roll it out to 100% of our users no later than Tuesday. The autocomplete is consumption priced (no markup) but the cost per month should be low single digit dollars.

Roo Code is awesome and free and open source.

Hitching my wagon to this train to ask: same question, but for nvim!

I haven't used it recently but perhaps TabNine

We are working on a fully local coding assistant with auto complete and agentic modes. We created a novel post training pipeline to optimize an 80b param model to run on a standard laptop (16gb RAM) so we can offer truly unlimited and private AI coding.

I'm building a supermaven competitor for jetbrains. We use the Jetbrains PSI (basically Jetbrain's version of the LSP) to pull definitions into context to make the autocomplete smarter. My colleague wrote a blog on this here: https://blog.sweep.dev/posts/autocomplete-context.
