I thought about building something along these lines (not the same but vaguely similar).
Then Gemini AI Studio came along with a 1 million token window and allowed me to upload zip files of my entire code base and I lost interest in my own thing.
- TZubiri 1y agoIt technically handles 1M tokens, but if you ask it questions it's obvious that it's too much to handle. Just upload a novel and ask it questions, you'll see how it botches simple stuff
- wewewedxfgdf 1y agoGood or bad it's a zillion times better than Claude or ChatGPT where you can't even upload a zipfile.
- icelancer 1y agoEasiest way to prove it can't handle the full context in reality is to upload a one hour documentary movie with audio and ask it to write timestamps of chapters/critical moments. It can't handle this beyond 10 minutes even remotely reliably.
- zwaps 1y agoIf you want this in numbers check the nolima benchmark
- golfer 1y agoSeems like this needs to be updated. Lots of newer models not on their list.
- tapeo 1y agoYes the long context it's complementary, in other chat services like Gemini you have to rewrite that base context everytime for each new fresh chat, plus they lack of specific data import tools and projects management
- douglasisshiny 1y agoIs it not a bit weird to freely give give away your entire code base (I assume it's personal, not your company's, but maybe I'm wrong) to an entity like Google?
- sampullman 1y agoHow common is it to have a personal project that isn't open source? Probably more common than I think, but it seems like a foreign concept to me. Either my code isn't commercialized so I don't mind "giving" it away, or it is commercialized but wouldn't be safe from a clean room implementation anyway. Isn't that what bigco would do of they really wanted to steal your idea?
- _1tem 1y agoAs a business owner that uses Cursor, this is a real risk that I worry about (third parties stealing my code). However, the massive productivity benefit of having access to AI tools far outweighs the risk of them copying my business based on the code alone. Besides, AI is making code less and less valuable. My code is not the moat -- the hard part is the network, traction, brand, distributions, etc.
- douglasisshiny 1y agoDo you have actual data showing cursor (or any LLM) is a massive productivity benefit for coding? What are the heuristics?
