Inline completions are genuinely useful, I’m mostly replacing them with local models though. They are slower but free as in beer (once you pay the hardware cost).
I'm interested in setting it up, are you using vs code? Which extension or editor?
I’m using vim with minuet-ai, and it plugs the AI suggestion into my completion module. I found the Copilot style virtual text interfaces all janky.
So, not free. Just capital expense instead of operational.
Sure, but hopefully small code completion (2-4b range) models can run locally on a lot of things. They’re just less good.
