gornycreative Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 So I started playing around with Supermaven's free tier. If you are looking for a code assistant for VSCode I would recommend giving it a try. I started using it after Theo covered it in one of his tool videos, and I can say it probably shaves about 15 minutes of work per hour for me. It does a reasonably good job of anticipating structures you are building based on a quick overview of the codebase for your project. I haven't extended the codebase to include the entire source for processwire in my projects, but even with just the minimum core wire folder modules and a few site module source code bits it is more than enough to cover the bases. I am using the free tier which has a smaller token context limitation, but the code suggestions are fast, they don't feel inappropriately intrusive and don't write-ahead too far until the engine has high confidence in the direction you are trying to go. When it has high certainty, it opts to give you large code blocks - even entire functions with appropriate substitutions. It has sped up my RockMigration script writing considerably - beyond the macros, because it sees other migration functions I have defined and does a very good job of anticipating not only the class structures for custom page classes, etc, but also replacing names for new classes with proper singular/plural forms, etc. I'd say it provides the correct code without modification 85% of the time. https://supermaven.com/ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gebeer Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Interesting. I watched Theo's video but haven't tried it yet. Mainly because I'm very happy with https://codeium.com/. Also very fast and quite good completions. Been using this for almost a year now and it has made much progress in quality and features. In addition to code completion you get AI chat, DocBlock Creation, Refactoring and much more. It seems to very intelligently grasp the context it needs to provide good completions without you having to configure anything. You can even improve performance by fine tuning some settings. I am using this inside the Cursor editor instead of their Copilot++ feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberium Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I test supermaven and codeium at the moment. What I like about supermaven, it is superfast. I don't develop that "Copilot pause" on my typing. Codium feels slower as supermaven, but also faster as Copilot. On codeium, my problem is, that the context of the project is only avaible in the chat, not really in the inline mode (in my testing). So that is something, where I tend more to supermaven at the moment. (Maybe it is a limitation of the neovim plugin) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just today I had the clear proof that Codeium autocomplete was well aware of the context. At least the last edited file (like they say in their docs). Can't say for sure that it also has context from the whole codebase. Need to check that. Will also give Supermaven a try and see how it compares.

Tiberium Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 yes to be more precise, it is aware of the edited files it was active. The chat index the whole project (you can see the progress on it). But Supermaven seems to had context in inline autocomplete of files i didn't touch (but they are in my project). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbmnfktr Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Out of curiosity, I installed Supermaven yesterday, even though I was quite happy with Codeium, and started playing around with it since then. For now, I am super impressed by its speed, accuracy, and knowledge. While Codeium is more on the PHP side of things, Supermaven seems to know more about or even understands ProcessWire.

Installed it yesterday and went straight for the trial of pro plan because of the insane context window of 1 million tokens. If the model sees that much of your codebase it can make much better suggestions. Even on the free plan you get 300.000 tokens context which is way more than any of the other autocomplete models can digest. The speed is absolutely amazing. Guess I will switch from Codeium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever nonsense I throw at it, it gets the gist and gives me at least a solid foundation to work on - sometimes even a completely fine working solution.

I get better results with Claude Sonnet than with GPT4o. Been using 3.5 Sonnet since it came out. Currently using it through Anthropic API with https://www.continue.dev/. In continue config I disabled the autocomplete and use Supermaven for that. The continue chat interface integrates nice and I could choose from more models if I desired to do so. With the Supermaven pro plan, you get 5$ of monthly credits for the chat models. Don't know about pricing for additional chat requests above that. Couldn't find it on Supermavens website. When going through Anthropic API, the usage cost is very detailed and transparent. Anyways, exciting to see so much going on in the AI assistant space and great to have so many options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberium Posted Sunday at 11:51 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:51 AM It's interesting to see a confirmation of my testing (codium vs Supermaven). Especial the inline Autocomplete function. What I mostly use. The context window now with 1 mio, is a fresh update from 02.07. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
