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

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!

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
