AI Coding Assistants (Who uses them and which)
KynloStephen66515:
I've been using Codeium for quite some time now.
It can be used in the browser directly, as an extension for VSCode/VStudio, or through their own editor Windsurf.
Best of all, it's completely free. They do have paid subscriptions with more features, but I never felt that I needed to upgrade.
PS: I'm not affiliated to Codeium in any way.

I've been trying out Windsurf recently and it has huge potential to be a great product, but it's not quite there yet. Between the constant issues with Codium hitting their usage caps with Anthropic, and tool_use errors, it still has some way to go. That being said though, I have enjoyed it so far (even if the "oopsie" errors are half way through it editing a file it refuses to elaborate on so you don't know what it broke).
I do mainly use Cody AI (by Sourcegraph), which is the one I work for, mainly, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy seeing what other tools are doing :D ;D

I haven't had the chance to test Windsurf yet. Normally, I use Codeium through the web browser, or in VSCode. I mostly use it for small tasks (regex, snippets, SQL optimizations..etc).
I never tried Cody AI, but considering that the free tier only offers 200 chats per month, it feels limited compared Codeium.
Codeium free tier offers unlimited chats if you use their Base model (Llama 3.1 70B), and if you switch to GPT-4o/Claude 3.5 Sonnet, you're limited to 20 chats per day.
For my use case, I rarely use anything other than the Base model, though.

The reason we limit to 200 per month is because:
A: We are the lowest price for unlimited
B: We allow use of Claude 3.5 Latest (the best model on the market) and GPT4o :-*

A. Perhaps, but as a free user, it doesn't affect me.
B. And so does Codeium. As I said, you can use GPT-4o/Claude 3.5 Sonnet, you're limited to 20 chats per day for free.
If you're a paid user or part of a large team, Cody AI might make sense (considering it's cheaper), but as a free user, I haven't found anything better than Codeium.

Honestly, if you love Codium, it's worth the upgrade to paid just for access to Windsurf - it has its downsides but nothing that I imagine won't be fixed fairly quickly with updates!
