Is there an easy way to use Claude as a Co-Pilot in VS Code? If it is better at coding, it would be great to have it integrated.

Continue.dev's VS Code extension is fantastic for this

Cursor uses Claude as its base model. There may be extensions for VScode to do it but it will never be allowed in Copilot unless MS and OpenAI have a falling out.

You can use it in Cursor - called "Cursor Tab" IMO Cursor Tab performs much better than Co-Pilot, easily works through things that would cause Co-Pilot to get stuck, you should give it a try

  As I understand Cursor tab autocomplete uses their own model. Only chat has Sonnet and co.

    Ah, i thought it used the model selected for your prompts, either way, it seems to work very well

      I originally thought that too but learned yesterday they have their own model. Definitely explains how its so fast and accurate!

  its funny that cursor.sh with < 30 developers has a better autocomplete model than microsoft

You can use Cursor (VS fork) with private Anthropic key

You can easily use a plugin like https://www.continue.dev/ https://www.continue.dev/ and configure it to use Claude 3.5 Sonnet.

For Copilot-like use, Continue is the plugin you're looking for, though I would suggest using a cheaper/faster model to get inline completions. For Cursor-like use (giving prompts and letting it create and modify files across the project), Cline – previously Claude Dev – is pretty good.

Codeium (cheapest), double.bot and continue.dev (with api key) have Claude in chat. https://github.com/cline/cline https://github.com/cline/cline (with api key) has Claude as agent.

Tabnine includes Claude as an option. I've been using it to compare Claude Sonnet to Chatgpt-4o and Sonnet is clearly much better.

Cody by Sourcegraph has unlimited code completions for Claude & a very generous monthly message limit. They don't have this new version I think but they roll these out very fast.

  Cody (https://cody.dev https://cody.dev) will have support for the new Claude 3.5 Sonnet on all tiers (including the free tier) asap. We will reply back here when it's up.

    Thank you for Cody! Enjoy using it and the chat is perfect for brainstorming and iteratin. Selecting code + asking to edit it makes coding so much fun. Kinda feel like a caveman at work without it :)
