Was inevitable but it is cool to see that the Cursor team are really making good use of the tech. Tab complete + the new Composer model are very good at targeted, narrow tasks.
Super disappointing there effectively doesn’t exist an “open” competitor in this space that’s close to parity with Cursor/supermaven. Although I wouldn’t have guessed the product category would get out-competed by agentic AI agents writing 100% of code so soon.
Does anyone have a recommendation of a similar high quality, super fast tab auto-complete LLM for VSCode without switching over to Cursor? I’m fairly happy with Claude pro + VSCode for my agentic tinkering (mostly just using plan mode), but Supermaven filled a niche of a drop-in high speed autocomplete that was nice.
We are working on a fully local coding assistant with auto complete and agentic modes. We created a novel post training pipeline to optimize an 80b param model to run on a standard laptop (16gb RAM) so we can offer truly unlimited and private AI coding.
Supermaven still is the smartest & best tab autocomplete I've ever used. And it's a shame there is ZERO competitors who come close to how "smart" it felt with it's suggestions. All other tab autocomplete AI's feel annoying and almost always get in my way.
I stopped using Supermaven a while back when their JetBrains plugins broke and the only fix was a manual edit to a java file every time the IDE updated :(
I'm building a supermaven competitor for jetbrains. We use the Jetbrains PSI (basically Jetbrain's version of the LSP) to pull definitions into context to make the autocomplete smarter. My colleague wrote a blog on this here: https://blog.sweep.dev/posts/autocomplete-context.
