    Sounds interesting, I’ve never used copilot and I’m not a programmer by profession (I just write a few scripts here and there for data analysis or experiment control), but I’m interested in checking this out. Has anyone here tried it? I’m worried it’ll get in my way more often than it helps.

      I’ve found Codeium pretty handy, especially for boilerplate-y stuff like unit tests, and it can very often “guess” what I’m going after especially if I eg have a TODO comment or something similar where I start completion. Doesn’t always work but doesn’t get in my way either, so overall it’s been a benefit

      edit: note that the language you write will likely be a factor. When I tried Codeium with Julia, the results were often pretty meh likely because it’s a more niche language, but with eg Swift it’s been fine

      I have been able GPT4 to do some basic scripting, but gpt3.5 did not succeeded anything for me. The first plan with gpt4 is 12bucks a month.

      If you only code not often, continue.dev is good alternative plugged to a provider like together (using Llama 3 70b a few times and cost me 0.01$). They also announced a partnership with mistral but didn’t tried it.

        Gpt-4o (the newest model) is free for a limited number of messages.

            I messed around with it a little bit. I never used gpt-4 so I can’t say how much better it is, but it worked really well and only required some minor tweaking on my part.

            I’ve used it with Python for data extraction and visualization last week. It worked worked surprisingly well 90% of the time. But when it failed to produce the code I wanted, it was difficult to trouble shoot and find a way around.
            It helped a lot to break the tasks down as much as possible. It also remembered stylistic guidelines from several prompts ago
