Does anyone have a recommendation of a similar high quality, super fast tab auto-complete LLM for VSCode without switching over to Cursor? I’m fairly happy with Claude pro + VSCode for my agentic tinkering (mostly just using plan mode), but Supermaven filled a niche of a drop-in high speed autocomplete that was nice.

RIP. Supermaven had great support for neovim for tab completion, will definitely miss that.

Supermaven still is the smartest & best tab autocomplete I've ever used. And it's a shame there is ZERO competitors who come close to how "smart" it felt with it's suggestions. All other tab autocomplete AI's feel annoying and almost always get in my way.
I stopped using Supermaven a while back when their JetBrains plugins broke and the only fix was a manual edit to a java file every time the IDE updated :(

All I wanted was fast on-demand code completion. Guess 2025 is a lost year on that front.

Was inevitable but it is cool to see that the Cursor team are really making good use of the tech. Tab complete + the new Composer model are very good at targeted, narrow tasks.

Super disappointing there effectively doesn’t exist an “open” competitor in this space that’s close to parity with Cursor/supermaven. Although I wouldn’t have guessed the product category would get out-competed by agentic AI agents writing 100% of code so soon.
