Cognition3 min read

September continues the evolution of Codeium with key updates designed to improve user experience and introduce new advanced features. Alongside various bug fixes and UI refinements, we have launched Pro Tier, a paid plan with premium capabilities for developers seeking even more power from Codeium. Let’s dive into this month’s highlights.


Pro Tier: Advanced Features for Power Users

We introduced Pro Tier, a new subscription plan that unlocks additional capabilities for individual developers. While the Free Forever plan remains available, the Pro Tier offers advanced features that provide a significant boost in productivity:

  • Fast Autocomplete: Experience significantly reduced latency with blazing fast Autocomplete.

  • Unlimited Large Models: Full access to Claude 3.5 Sonnet, GPT-4o, and our Llama 3.1 405B based model in Chat, with no usage caps.

  • Uncapped Reasoning: Take advantage of expanded context lengths and unrestricted code indexing, powered by Riptide for superior reasoning capabilities.

Unlock a more powerful version of Codeium for just $10/month (or $8.33/month annually). Learn more about the Pro Tier on our blog, or upgrade to Pro here.

Smarter Chat and Enhanced UX

This month, we’ve introduced several enhancements to the chat experience, focusing on usability and responsiveness:

  • Redesigned Chat Interface: The Settings tab is now located in the gear icon at the top right, and the Context tab can be accessed via the Advanced button next to the chat input.

  • Conversation History Overhaul: The chat history has been redesigned for more intuitive navigation, making it easier to revisit past conversations.

  • Font Size Customization: The font size can now be adjusted via the Settings panel, offering greater flexibility for different workflows.

  • Chat Input Footer Redesign: We’ve revamped the chat input footer for a cleaner, more intuitive design.

Performance and Stability Improvements

In addition to the chat upgrades, this month’s update includes several fixes and optimizations to improve overall stability:

  • Long Chat Message Fix: Resolved an issue where long chat messages would cause crashes.

  • Streamed Response Handling: In case of an error during a streamed chat response, the system will now revert to the most recent valid state, ensuring you don’t lose progress.

  • Faster Load Times: We’ve implemented optimistic rendering in the chat client, reducing initial load times and eliminating the need for the chat panel to reload when reopened.

Quality of Life Updates

This month’s update also includes a series of UI and UX improvements designed to enhance your daily use of Codeium:

  • Command Diff Fixes: Fixed a bug where rejecting command diffs sometimes deleted newlines.

  • JupyterLab 4 Enhancements: JupyterLab 4 now saves API keys in a file, improving the authentication experience for data scientists and Jupyter users.

Looking Ahead

This month’s updates are all about giving you more control, speed, and stability while using Codeium. With the launch of the Pro Tier and ongoing refinements across the platform, we’re committed to making Codeium a smarter, faster, and more powerful tool for developers of all levels. Stay tuned for more exciting features in the coming months!
