Sunsetting Supermaven
- Royalaid 11mo agoWas inevitable but it is cool to see that the Cursor team are really making good use of the tech. Tab complete + the new Composer model are very good at targeted, narrow tasks.
- rickdg 11mo agoAll I wanted was fast on-demand code completion. Guess 2025 is a lost year on that front.
- tyre 11mo agoCopilot isn’t bad. Roo Code is an open source cursor alternative that works with VS Code. I like it more than Cursor. Much heavier than only tab completion though
- komali2 11mo ago* in an editor other than vscode, for me anyway was important. In my testing Supermaven was the best in nvim. Copilot is... fine I guess.
- extr 11mo agoSuper disappointing there effectively doesn’t exist an “open” competitor in this space that’s close to parity with Cursor/supermaven. Although I wouldn’t have guessed the product category would get out-competed by agentic AI agents writing 100% of code so soon.
- crooked-v 11mo agoAny "open" equivalent has the basic problem that it's all subsidized by VCs. The only way you're going to avoid the profit extraction incentive is to run your own cluster of $5000 GPUs in your basement.
- komali2 11mo agoBased on, of all people, Pewdipie's videos, seems around 25k in GPUs (4090s mostly) will get you pretty usable local results.
- tyre 11mo agoRoo Code is excellent
- petesergeant 11mo agoYou're all over this thread recommending Roo Code, but my understanding is that it's a coding agent, rather than super-fast tab complete
- pixelready 11mo agoDoes anyone have a recommendation of a similar high quality, super fast tab auto-complete LLM for VSCode without switching over to Cursor? I’m fairly happy with Claude pro + VSCode for my agentic tinkering (mostly just using plan mode), but Supermaven filled a niche of a drop-in high speed autocomplete that was nice.
- sytse 11mo agoAt Kilo (VScode plugin, BYOK so works with Claude Pro) we just rolled out autocomplete to 10% of our user base on Friday and we're happy with what we're seeing. The autocomplete is based a Mistal model (Codestral) that is fast and accurate https://mistral.ai/news/codestral https://mistral.ai/news/codestral We copied a lot of code from Continue.dev (best open source autocomplete in our view). We plan to roll it out to 100% of our users no later than Tuesday. The autocomplete is consumption priced (no markup) but the cost per month should be low single digit dollars.
- pixelready 11mo agoKilo’s been on my list of tools to try anyway. Good to hear you’ve got a strategy for useful autocomplete. Any idea how it compares with Supermaven both in terms of speed and quality? Supermaven really had found a sweet spot for both. I found LLM autocomplete was generally more annoying than it was worth prior to Supermaven.
- sytse 11mo agoSorry but I'm don't know how Kilo autocomplete compares with Supermaven. Maybe someone else does? BTW For completeness, while we’re still in rollout for existing users autocomplete is default on for all new users already.
- lolc 11mo agoIt doesn't look near instant like Supermaven because the default delay before suggestions is 3 s. https://kilo.ai/docs/basic-usage/autocomplete https://kilo.ai/docs/basic-usage/autocomplete
- hahn-kev 11mo agoSupermaven was awesome RIP
- pfych 11mo agoSupermaven still is the smartest & best tab autocomplete I've ever used. And it's a shame there is ZERO competitors who come close to how "smart" it felt with it's suggestions. All other tab autocomplete AI's feel annoying and almost always get in my way. I stopped using Supermaven a while back when their JetBrains plugins broke and the only fix was a manual edit to a java file every time the IDE updated :(
- kevinlu1248 11mo agoI'm building a supermaven competitor for jetbrains. We use the Jetbrains PSI (basically Jetbrain's version of the LSP) to pull definitions into context to make the autocomplete smarter. My colleague wrote a blog on this here: https://blog.sweep.dev/posts/autocomplete-context https://blog.sweep.dev/posts/autocomplete-context.
- Gricha 11mo agoRIP. Supermaven had great support for neovim for tab completion, will definitely miss that.
- dc_giant 11mo agoHmmm they did charge my CC two days ago on 22nd though…
- stOneskull 11mo agoit's crazy that the big link at the bottom is still there..
