Compare CodeGeeX vs. Cody

Introducing CodeGeeX, a powerful multilingual code generation model boasting 13 billion parameters, which has been pre-trained on an extensive code corpus covering over 20 programming languages. Leveraging the capabilities of CodeGeeX, we have created a VS Code extension (search 'CodeGeeX' in the Extension Marketplace) designed to support programming in various languages. In addition to its proficiency in multilingual code generation and translation, CodeGeeX can serve as a personalized programming assistant through its few-shot learning capability. This means that by providing a handful of examples as prompts, CodeGeeX can mimic the showcased patterns and produce code that aligns with those examples. This functionality enables the implementation of exciting features such as code explanation, summarization, and generation tailored to specific coding styles. For instance, users can input code snippets reflecting their unique style, and CodeGeeX will generate similar code accordingly. Moreover, experimenting with different prompt formats can further inspire CodeGeeX to develop new coding skills and enhance its versatility. Thus, CodeGeeX stands out as a versatile tool for developers looking to streamline their coding processes.

Cody is an advanced AI coding assistant developed by Sourcegraph to enhance the efficiency and quality of software development. It integrates seamlessly with popular Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) such as VS Code, Visual Studio, Eclipse, and various JetBrains IDEs, providing features like AI-driven chat, code autocompletion, and inline editing without altering existing workflows. Designed to support both individual developers and teams, Cody emphasizes consistency and quality across entire codebases by utilizing comprehensive context and shared prompts. It also extends its contextual understanding beyond code by integrating with tools like Notion, Linear, and Prometheus, thereby gathering a holistic view of the development environment. By leveraging the latest Large Language Models (LLMs), including Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o, Cody offers tailored assistance that can be optimized for specific use cases, balancing speed and performance. Developers have reported significant productivity gains, with some noting time savings of approximately 5-6 hours per week and a doubling of coding speed when using Cody.
