Better Chat than ChatGPT

Recent improvements to the Chat experience include the deployment of Llama 3.1 models with 70B and 405B parameters, which outperform state-of-the-art retrieval-augmented generation approaches by 100%, alongside various user experience enhancements like inline chat citations and slash commands. These changes aim to deliver more relevant, grounded responses and better quality coding suggestions than GPT-4, facilitated by a reasoning stack integrated with Codeium's infrastructure. The models support both smaller, faster applications and larger, smarter ones, and are available on platforms such as Visual Studio Code and Jetbrains. New features allow users to continue past conversations, pin context items directly from the chat panel, and easily copy chat contents to the clipboard, while offering detailed statistics on context usage and model execution. These updates are designed to increase user control, provide deeper insights, and improve overall satisfaction, with developers reporting increased productivity and satisfaction compared to other tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT.
