It's frustrating.

Cody's autocomplete used to work really well for me. Then they switched to DeepSeek. Now I regularly get suggestions that are irrelevant, incomplete, and contain syntax errors.

I'm not sure what it's like these days but I had a similar experience with Copilot a while back.

I wonder if good autocomplete is just too expensive.

Hi there, Cody contributor here—sorry to hear you had a bad experience! In our evals, our DeepSeek variant outperformed previous models and other alternatives. If it's working worse for you know, would be open to sending us some examples/screenshots of poor completions examples? We'd like to incorporate these into our eval set so we can capture a more representative distribution of codebases and how Cody performs!
I can do that. What's the best way to get them to y'all?
Ping community@sourcegraph.com and I'll get a thread going. :)
