Any good GitHub Copilot alternatives?


I was a part of the GitHub Copilot beta preview, and I do not meet the requirements to use GitHub Copilot now (maintaining a popular repo, etc). Are there any good alternatives to GitHub Copilot?

Amazon CodeWhisperer [1] was released recently, I haven’t used it yet but seems to be a good free alternative.

https://codeium.com/ individual plan is "free forever"

I use it sometimes and it's pretty good. Haven't done a direct comparison with Copilot though.

Anything locally hosted? (Can't give out our code to third parties.)

TabNine was the main thing before GitHub copilot, but I haven’t followed up on their progress.

genie for vscode has been pretty good, I like being able to highlight then ask questions about the highlighted code, I just wish it could do on the fly vector embeddings so size wasn't a factor.

TabNine is great and it trains on YOUR codebase.
