I feel that I'm being too conservative with how I use AI. Currently I use Copilot Autocomplete with a bit of Copilot Chat, which is great and almost always gets small snippets correct, but I sometimes worry that I'm not using it to the full potential -- so I can be faster with my side projects -- for example, by generating entire classes.
- antirez 3y agoIn general Copilot is much weaker than bigger/slower models, so if you have the feeling you are not using AI enough, the first thing to try IMHO is to chat with powerful models like GPT4 to see what is the current state of art in code generation.
- CaptainFever 3y agoThank you for the suggestion, antirez! Unfortunately that option does cost money (Copilot is free for students), although Bing might be an alright alternative.
- antirez 3y agoIndeed, you are right. If you have an M[1,2,3] MacBook with enough RAM, you may want to run some model like DeepSeek-coder 34B in local. Or the smaller one, but it is going to be weaker.
