Trialing Codeium code assistant

Bykimsal

I’ve been using github copilot on and off in 2023 (more on than off the last few months), but just recently learned about https://codeium.com. Couple of points in their favor:

1. They exclude non-permissive licensed code from their training models (no gpl, etc)
2. There’s a “chat” interface to ask for explanations of code. I’m not sure it’s a game changer, but that seems to be a thing more services are offering, and it’s… there.
3. It’s free for individual use.

What’s your experience?
