Auto complete isn’t an AI thing
- hn_throw2025 1y agoCursor’s autocomplete is SuperMaven (which they acquired). From the site : “Supermaven uses Babble, a proprietary language model specifically optimized for inline code completion. Our in-house models and serving infrastructure allow us to provide the fastest completions and the longest context window of any copilot.”
- avianlyric 1y agoLLMs are literally auto-complete models. I just so happens that when your auto-complete model gets big enough, and you poke it in the right way, it accidentally pretends to be intelligent. And it turns out, that pretending to be intelligent is almost as useful as actually being intelligent.
