I've been using Codeium's vscode extension (have also tried out vim & emacs 'extensions') and it's my favorite (out of the free ones - that is)

the ctrl-shift-i for "inline chat - sort of", generate docstrings, control over context, I dunno, a couple small details that make it a little better.

I don't know what model they use but it's quite fast and I don't personally notice an "iq penalty" although I'm sure there is one

Which other extensions have you tried? I've been experimenting with Cline and Continue.dev recently. Continue seems to be the winner for now, but I may give Codeium and Windsurf a try.
cody, double, and 2 others that I dropped immediately bec they just weren't good. I don't remember their names.

Cody and double are pretty good and I'll switch to them sometimes
