I guess I've been summoned.

We're primarily focusing on VSCode, IntelliJ and Neovim for Cody. Of course I'll be working on an Emacs version, but that's kinda best-effort for now.

As for the new crop of codegen models, they seem to be getting to parity with GPT/Claude/Bard-class models for code autocompletions, but not so much for other tasks.

We're working on incorporating OSS models, but I'd be surprised if they're ready for prime-time this year. I think next year they'll be huge.

Just my $0.02, take with a grain of salt. Shit moves fast.

I think "best-effort" would be a good tagline for emacs
