Why we won't be replaced by AI There’s been a lot of talk about AIs replacing programmers recently. The National Post: “AI is coming after the tech bros and their easy money”. Emad Mostaque, CEO of Stability AI: “There Will Be No Programmers in Five Years”. Some people are

Five years ago I created TabNine, the first commercial code completion tool to use deep learning. Today I'm releasing Supermaven, the first code completion tool with a context window exceeding 100,000 tokens.

Supermaven not only provides the best completions of any tool but it's also the fastest. In the video below I test the speed of Supermaven compared to several alternatives. Supermaven's response time is 250ms, over 3x faster than any other tool in this case.

Many people asked if Supermaven trains on your code. To be clear: Supermaven does not train on your code. In the future we might let you get Supermaven at a discount if you allow training on your code. That will always be a clear opt-in: you won't end up there by accident.

Unlike existing tools which are all based on the Transformer architecture, Supermaven uses a new operation which is better than self-attention at integrating information across a long context.

This allows us to expand the context window to 300,000 tokens (30 times longer than any other tool) while keeping cost and latency low. As a user, that means Supermaven will understand APIs and conventions that are unique to your codebase.

We've trained Babble, a new model with a 1 million token context window. Babble is 2.5x larger than the previous Supermaven model and upgrades our context length from 300,000 to 1 million tokens. We are deploying the new model to all Supermaven users today.

Some early feedback from Supermaven users was that they found the speed distracting. That confused us at first - we believe faster is always better. Were the users wrong? No.

A nice little thing that I like about Supermaven is using it to bump versions. It's seen enough diffs to know that when you're editing a line with a version number, you usually want to increase it by 1.

A great example of the power of Supermaven's 300k token context. Left: the completion, right: the context that allowed the model to produce it. Nowhere in the repo does the phrase "Discord server" appear.

The real problem was that the suggestions displayed in the middle of the line. That meant that because the suggestions were fast, your text moved around a lot in response to the suggestions - very distracting!
