Looks cool! Always like to see these local alternatives. I'm a Sublime Text user (it is still amazing!) so there aren't many options for LLM assistants. The only one I found that works for me on Sublime is https://codeium.com/ and it is also free for the basic usage.

They have a great list of supported editors:

- Android Studio - Chrome (Colab, Jupyter, Databricks and Deepnote, JSFiddle, Codepen, Codeshare, and StackBlitz) - CLion - Databricks - Deepnote - Eclipse - Emacs - GoLand - Google Colab - IntelliJ - JetBrains - Jupyter Notebook - Neovim - PhpStorm - PyCharm - Sublime Text - Vim - Visual Studio - Visual Studio Code - WebStorm - Xcode

I have found that the completions are decent enough. I do find that sometimes the completion suggestions are too aggressive and try to complete more than I want so I end up leaving it off until I feel like I could use it.

Hey, check the one that I made[1].

It isn’t the code completion assistant like the one you mentioned above, and it probably never will be. I see it more as a perfect coding companion, that is always under your fingertips and relieves you of googling most of the times.

Yet it’s tied with OpenAI, and you have to pay it by yourself, but the former should be changed rather sooner than later.

Bonus: in develop branch there is some-kind-of release candidate that a way more robust that the current release is.
