CodeAssist vs. CodeNext vs. Gemini Code Assist vs. StarCoder Comparison Chart

When you work with CodeAssist plugin/extension, the code that CodeAssist works with is sent to the CodeAssist API. Your code is processed there to generate CodeAssist response (in the form of code change or message). Currently, the processed code is not stored on the server. If there are any changes to that, I'll let you know. If you don't use "Complete" feature (ALT+X shortcut), then it only processes the file that you have open in the editor. If you use "Complete" feature, then it processes other files in your codebase as well. As part of generating response, CodeAssist sends the code to OpenAI API. OpenAI stores the code for 1 month to provide and maintain their services, comply with applicable law, and enforce their policies. The code is not used by OpenAI for improvement of their services or training of their models.
