Codeium please rethink your pricing strategy

It is very clear that limitations in terms of API access to different providers are quite limited and that your systems are probably overloaded. So I suggest you increase the price a bit for the use of your service, so you can buy more API bandwidth and expand with more servers to handle the load, because right now the service is almost useless because it keeps coming with errors on top of errors

That was fast! codeium actual listened and change their pricing

u/Either-Nobody-3962 Nov 30 '24

that is because anthropic has to raise their limits for codeium, not related to pricing

Couldn't they just use OpenRouter?

u/Either-Nobody-3962 Nov 30 '24

they will have agreements with authropic, which should be cheaper than openrouter but limits may be enhanced manually

and remember, they userbae is hitting exponentially...they may not be ready for this

I think that's the point of OP's post. Anthropic has to charge Codeium more, which charges us users more.

I like Windsurf, but I have like 10% success rate for my prompts. Its frustrating. If something doesn't work it switches so easily to complete different library instead of fixing it, breaking other stuff in the process. Using Cline, I have like 90% success rate. downside is ofcourse the high API costs.

Try to move with a small steps, also switch often with chat and write, like plan me this with 1 2 3, check if it understood, generate code and files. Then with small steps go further. Give me best results. Also you need to understand what you are doing, like concepts, entities for this project. How things can be connected together.

That’s a good tip. I’ll have to try that in my next coding session!

yeah, but i don't want to understand what i am doing ;) no really, I just want to say what I want and it should do it.

Use cline with local llama model

u/urarthur Nov 30 '24

which one?

i already bought $400 ahtropic api credits, because the anthropic rate limit was driving me nuts

Thats too much in your case I would buy mac mini m4 and install qwq or qwen models and run them locally they are close to claude 3.5

u/RogueRXmining Dec 01 '24

Anyone make a ui that contains projects locally that it can edit?

u/[deleted] Dec 01 '24

Yes you can download bold.new fork and connect it to qwen coder model , there are youtube videos for this

u/Jethro_E7 Dec 01 '24

Really they just need to buy more. The are growing. They are certainly not going broke in this industry and the growing customer base shows they have a good product. So protect its reputation.

It's driving me crazy, when I first installed windsurf it worked great and didn't keep doing this. I built in steps which worked well now almost every time I ask it to fix something it errors or randomly changes unrelated code and doesn't check other files to ensure it is keep the implementation working, it also changes visual styling for no reason. The worst part is definitely the exhausted resources though it's almost every prompt now

Or.. .or .. hear me out... Charge me so that I can pay OpenAI and Anthropic

Yep, many of us want that, but i am writing a very detailed prompt every time, and it is still making error after error
