No the model actually runs remotely. We would love to have some way to run a lightweight model on the user's machines but it's just not feasible given model size and amount of computation required.

What are the current requirements to run that model?
honkler 4y ago
nah. We know it's because if people had the model with them, they wouldn't pay you.

  Have you looked at the size of these models these days? Do you have the compute to run a model that takes up 100s of gigs just in hard drive space?
  - honkler 4y ago
    yeah, i know, and I have a good enough system to run these models. Google "fauxpilot".
    - space_fountain 4y ago
      Do you find the quality comparable to copilot? That's still an order of magnitude fewer parameters than copilot uses?

  We are a free product.
  - honkler 4y ago
    only for first few customers. After that you'll want new customers to open their wallets for you. You are not a charity. So cut the BS please.

      I don't really want to argue but we have been pretty open about the fact that we want to keep this product free for users going forward as well. We have been pretty clear about our plan to monetize additional features but the focus now is to democratize this technology.

        > we have been pretty open about the fact that we want to keep this product free for users going forward as well I think that parent’s tone is way too combative. But the “Pricing” page on your website[1] only says that the service is free for early users. One Plan It's pretty simple. Early users get free forever access to Codeium. It does not say whether all future users will have to pay or only those who want additional features. The wording strongly suggests the former.

So this sends code from the user's machine to your API? This isn't disclosed on the linked page, nor is a privacy policy linked.
