Strong performance and quality for a small local model.

Hi, I tried the model and I am super impressed by the performance/quality. Thanks for making this open source! I am the author of this Neovim plugin for edit completions. I was…
leonardcser on HNI've been waiting for something like this for ages. Cursor making me pay $20/month when all I use from it is autocomplete was always a little annoying, especially as they changed…

Useful open weights that could replace paid autocomplete subscriptions.

Sometimes when I use a plugin like this I get reminded just how much of a productivity nerf it is to code without an autocomplete AI. Honestly in my opinion if you write a lot of…

Objections
Suggestions are overeager and some code quality is poor for C#.
From 1 comment
At least for C#, the quality of the cloud offering is rather mediocre, so I don’t expect this model to be that useful there. It’s very overeager, suggesting tons of stuff that I…

Suggestions are not impressive compared to larger models.

Wow super fun read, I love how it went into the technical details. Any way to make it work with vscode?
syntaxing on HNAny easy way to try on vscode?
dainiusse on HNHas somebody built any vscode extensions for this? Also is anyone serving this model?

Ollama or LM Studio support.

Hey, ollama run as suggested in hf doesn't seem to work with this model. This worked instead: ollama pull hf.co/sweepai/sweep-next-edit-1.5B
woile on HNI'm playing around with this in LMStudio (in huggingface -> use this model dropdown -> LMStudio) It's really impressive so far, so quick to respond on a mac mini M2. And it…

Questions
Is the training data available?
From 1 comment
Where is the training data? We can't keep calling those models "open source" if we have a black box and know precisely how they were made. "Open weights" are the new binary.

Does the JetBrains plugin run offline or phone home?
From 2 comments
Very cool! I understand that the 1.5B is small enough to run locally... but does it actually in the Sweep AI Jetbrains plugin? That is, if I install the plugin, will I download…
kleiba on HNCan this be used offline in Jetbrain IntelliJ? Looking at the plugin, it looks like it requires sign in and then it uses the cloud based model instead of the local one. Can't tell.

I remember using Qwen 2.5 Coder for autocomplete with Continue.dev, that experience was a mess both in JetBrains IDEs, as well as Visual Studio Code. People posting stuff like…
