Thanks, I had a feeling it may be something like this since it seemed like they were investing more in enterprise. That said, do they do better than copilot on this? Surely msft has more experience and ability to execute in that market?
Codeium's completion model is better than whatever GitHub Copilot has. For me it's Cursor > Codeium >>> Copilot. Yes, Copilot is that bad.
And yes Codeium/Windsurf focuses on enterprise customers more. As GP said they have an on-prem [0], a hybrid SaaS offering and enterprise features that just make sense (e.g. pooled credits). Their support team is more responsive (compared to Anysphere). Windsurf also "feels" more finished than Cursor.
[0] but ultimately if you want to "vibe-coding" you have to call Claude API
It’s a Copilot competitor and it’s used by Zillow, Dell, and Anduril (newish Defense company). Cursor can’t work in airgapped environments right now. I don’t know what Codeium charges to run an on prem licensed version but they boast over 1000 enterprise customers. Codeium is on a rapid growth trajectory from $1.25b to $2.85b in such a short period.
Codeium can be fine tuned. Though it’s trained on similar open source it does provide assurances that they do not inadvertently train on wrongly licensed software code.
