Cody for VS Code v1.32: Faster, more accurate autocomplete plus Smart Apply

Autocomplete is faster, more accurate, and powered by DeepSeek V2

Autocomplete has been overhauled with multiple under-the-hood changes, making it both faster and more accurate:

• P75 latency is down by 350 milliseconds
• Multi-line completions are significantly more accurate and relevant to the surrounding context
• The average completion acceptance rate (CAR) for early users is up by >4%

These updates are powered by several server-side and client-side optimizations. We've also updated the default autocomplete model from StarCoder to DeepSeek-V2, significantly improving responsiveness and accuracy.

These updates are available now for Free and Pro users. We've rolled out some of these autocomplete updates to Enterprise users as well, but the most significant updates (including moving to DeepSeek-V2) will come to Enterprise users soon.

Dynamically insert code from Cody chat into your files with Smart Apply

Chat-oriented programming (CHOP) is a new paradigm for chatting with AI to work through problems, write code, and build solutions. CHOP is now even more powerful with the Smart Apply feature, which lets you take suggestions from Cody in the chat and near-instantly turn them into diffs in your code.

Whenever Cody provides a code block as a suggestion in chat, press Apply, and Cody will analyze your open code file, find where that relevant code should live, and introduce a diff. For chat messages where Cody presents multiple code suggestions, you can apply each in sequence to go from chat suggestions to written code in only a few seconds.

Accept and reject block-level diffs for granular control

You can now control which parts of a multi-line edit to accept with more granularity. When you ask Cody to edit a block of code, the presented diff will be split into discrete code blocks, and you can accept or reject each diff separately.

Huge thank you to Justin Milner for making this contribution! ✨ 🫶

Chat now uses the full sidebar width

We heard from users that the chat wasn't using the full sidebar width, and the chat text was narrower than needed. We've updated this to make chat more space-efficient.
