That's just the client-side implementation, Jetbrains' Copilot client does the exact same, as that's how Jetbrains' code assistant API is implemented. These startups would need to differentiate themselves on a server level, their clients are limited by the IDE.

He's talking about something different (https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2024/04/04/full-line-code-co...). I also found this significantly more comfortable to use than copilot. Completions show up faster, don't try to overpredict (when I was trying out copilot it would often try to suggest large blocks of completely useless code) and doesn't cost anything extra.
