I'm definitely for any alternative to an MS solution (especially one where I have to give them actual money to use it), but I had kind of the same experience. Not extensive testing, and I'm using it in PyCharm, so I don't know if that changes the behavior.

The completion was weird. I tried to type "#Function to return the value passed". And it started to autocomplete with what I typed and what it was suggesting all jumbled up and completely unintelligible. Once I hit tab, it completed correctly, but it didn't make any sense until I hit tab, so I couldn't really see what I was completing until it was done.

The more I played with it, I noticed it started to not actually suggest anything. But the codeium plugin is just showing a wait spinner in my status bar, so maybe it's getting pounded with HN people testing it right now.

Interesting - would love if you could join our Discord (https://discord.gg/3XFf78nAx5) and we are happy to help figure out what's going on!
It looks like after 3 more minutes of testing, it's a me problem. There is one particular file that goes bonkers, which just so happened to be the one I had up. If I start a new file in that project, or work on an existing file in a different project it's fine and the completion works as expected.

I can't make it work with the one file, but yeah...not a codeium problem at all. I'll be sure to test at least 5 minutes next time ;)
