yaro-works··on Ask HN: Best AI Code Assistant?
I'm a fan of Supermaven, and speed does make a difference. In our team, most of the devs switched to Supermaven after seeing how quickly and concisely it works. I used to work with Cursor, but after trying Supermaven, which has the largest context among any Copilots, I found it instantly reads the context of my project and suggests code in my project's style.

From what I've found on their blog (https://www.cursor.com/blog/problems-2023), Cursor's context is 500k tokens, which is much better than GitHub Copilot's 8k tokens, but still not a competitor for Supermaven's 1m tokens. So in the end, Supermaven learns from your project. The more you write, the more it actually matches your code style.

Cursor has 1,883 ms latency while generating hints, while GitHub Copilot has 783 ms, and the fastest one, Supermaven, has 250 ms. Cursor is nice, but it's really slow compared to its competitors.

Try Supermaven. Suggestions are much faster than any copilot, and it has the largest context of your project. A 1 million token context window. Also, you get access to GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and GPT-4 out of the box
