Interestingly the founder of TabNine (which was acquired by Codota[0]) is currently working at Open AI (edit: comments corrected me he left in December 2020 according to his blog). I imagine they're livid about Open AI creating a competing product.

TabNine at times was magical, but I stopped using it after Codota started injecting ads directly into my editor[1]

Ah, thanks for the insight! It seems though that he is no longer working with OpenAI according to his personal website[0].
