> Copilot queries the model relatively infrequently and suggests a snippet or a full line of code. Copilot does not suggest code in the middle of the line, as its AI model is not best suited for this purpose.

Sorry but this is not really true. It is true that copilot suggestions usually take about 500ms at least, but i’ve never had an issue with that amount of time (if i’m typing something i usually know what i’m typing). And copilot does suggest code in the middle of a line and can provide small snippets as well, e.g. the arguments to a function.

Also copilot maybe uses a shared model, but it’s suggestions are surprisingly accurate to your specific code. e.g. copilot can suggest names of other symbols in my project, idk how it gets those but it’s not just suggesting generic stuff
