Does anyone have a recommendation of a similar high quality, super fast tab auto-complete LLM for VSCode without switching over to Cursor? I’m fairly happy with Claude pro + VSCode for my agentic tinkering (mostly just using plan mode), but Supermaven filled a niche of a drop-in high speed autocomplete that was nice.

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.

Kilo’s been on my list of tools to try anyway. Good to hear you’ve got a strategy for useful autocomplete. Any idea how it compares with Supermaven both in terms of speed and quality? Supermaven really had found a sweet spot for both. I found LLM autocomplete was generally more annoying than it was worth prior to Supermaven.

Sorry but I'm don't know how Kilo autocomplete compares with Supermaven. Maybe someone else does?

BTW For completeness, while we’re still in rollout for existing users autocomplete is default on for all new users already.

It doesn't look near instant like Supermaven because the default delay before suggestions is 3 s.

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

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 was interested but looks like it's only available for Macos.

I would've considered signing up if scrolling on your website didn't make my modern flagship phone drop frames.

Roo Code is awesome and free and open source.

I have been meaning to check Roo Code out ever since I saw Claude Code using paths with "roo" in it when executing sub agent workflows (while it was slightly confused). I assumed they borrowed the feature and did not bother changing the paths in some places.

I haven't used it recently but perhaps TabNine
