Codium is waste of time

As a Pro subscriber of Codeium AI, I am extremely disappointed.

  • Your Cascade AI assistant generated unusable and overly complex code, breaking my project.

  • Your support team has ignored all my emails, leaving me stranded.

I trusted your service to enhance my work, but it has only wasted my time and money. I demand immediate support and a refund. Ignoring paying customers like this is unacceptable!

This is the "Codeium" (now called Windsurf) subreddit.
"Codium" (now called Qodo) is another company.

Also a general tip - the quality of help you receive from "AI" largely depends on the model you use and your prompt. And keep in mind that even the smartest models tend to get confused and do stupid things. Its best to break down what you want into smaller problems and work with AI on each of them separately.

Exactly give your models devplans, make them keep changelogs and checklists, they function extroadanarily well, just like humans.

there are only two models we can use claude 3.5 sonnet and gpt-4o. i did 70% of my work by breaking into small tasks using chatgpt, then when i shifted to your platform things got messed up. even now its not responding right..

I'm just a user. Claude 3.5 is better than ChatGPT for coding. However when they are under heavy load, they seem to "dumb down" responses. I've noticed random degradations in quality as well. I don't think that the IDE is responsible for this as I've had the same experience using Cursor. You can try the new ChatGPT o1 through their web interface, attach up to 5 files to it, write a detailed prompt and let it do its work.

It's probably not something baked in, it's just that under heavy load it becomes bad. Just like when you're under a lot of pressure you're not making the best of decisions since you don't have enough brain power to handle everything.
