I actually don't think there's much of a moat here at all.
GitHub repositories are open for the taking, GPT-XXX is cloneable (mostly, anyway) and VS Code is extensible.
They definitely have a good head-start, but I really don't think there's anything here that won't be generally available within 2 years.
- giansegato 5y agoI don't think that GH code is easily accessible, with rate limiting and TOS forbidding it. GPT is an open model (for the most part), but its training cost is in the order of tens of millions of $ I can think of no one but a handful of companies being able to compete there. And they won't be ok with extending a Microsoft IDE, nor breaking GitHub TOS. When you start competing on R&D costs the game changes. There's always the chance that training costs will significantly decrease. But even at an order of magnitude less (ie. tens of Ks) it's still beyond reach for open projects and indie devs
