This doesn’t even come close to CodeCompanion[1], which doesn’t require any new LSP config/dependencies or filetype limitations.
There is no ability to share the current buffer(s) for context, no tool support. This seems like a checkbox release. You’re better off using CodeCompanion with Amazon Bedrock, which includes the added benefit of sovereignty.

CodeCompanion doesn’t have tab completion right? I love Neovim but Cursor’s tab completion is just next level and I haven’t found any nvim plugin that comes close to it.

GitHub Copilot nvim plugin[1] has autocomplete with ghost text, but of course it requires you use GitHub Copilot :)

Nvim 0.12 (prerelease) also has ghost text with the "textDocument/inlineCompletion" LSP server capability[1]. Currently supported by the "copilot" config[2], but any LS that supports "textDocument/inlineCompletion" can be used (and the config[2] shows optional QoL improvements).

Can't wait for my code being used as training data for Amazon to make a profit

I mean no one's forcing you to use Amazon's coding assistant if you hate Amazon. There are plenty of alternatives, both hosted and local, that you can use instead. Not to mention coding without an AI assistant, which is always available.

Isn’t that only the case for the free tier, which is only fair?
notrealyme123a day ago
This might be written somewhere, but you have to trust those words.
Most big players in the LLM field are getting their training data by at-least shady, if not illegal measures.
And if they don't care about laws on one side, why should anyone believe that they care on the other?
Amazon already uses their customers privat data to train models [1].

But you have to consider that AWS with all their enterprise customers is something entirely different than Alexa.
And yes, it’s literally written in their documentation.
https://aws.amazon.com/q/developer/faqs/#topic-1
“ For users who access Amazon Q Developer with the Pro Tier, your content is not used for service improvement, or to train any underlying foundation models (FMs). Unless explicitly opted out, content from Amazon Q Developer Free Tier might also be used to enhance and improve the quality of FMs. Your content will not be used if you use the opt-out mechanism described in the documentation. For more information, see Sharing your data with AWS.”

I think that's also true for the paid tier.

What makes you say that? Their page literally say that’s not the case.
“ “For users who access Amazon Q Developer with the Pro Tier, your content is not used for service improvement, or to train any underlying foundation models (FMs). Unless explicitly opted out, content from Amazon Q Developer Free Tier might also be used to enhance and improve the quality of FMs. Your content will not be used if you use the opt-out mechanism described in the documentation.

Because time and time again companies have said they will or won't do something and years later we see that they were not being truthful with their customers. This dig is not solely directed at Amazon, but pretty much every company where they just say "trust me" and you have no way to verify that trust.

What do you mean? It’s literally written in Amazon Q’s ToS that they don’t use the paid tier for training data, but they do do that for the free tier.
I do not consider Amazon a company that lies about this type of stuff?

Yes but restating the obvious sometimes helps to underscore who provides free work for whom. In this day and age it is often the 'user' who does the free labor. Especially, when there was normalized narrative (even before LLMs - with the crowd source) that user is the one being served.
mvanbaaka day ago
I totally agree with you. But the OP comment was not that, it was hinting at the fact it would always be used, as they did not add 'in the free tier only' to it.
So while restating the obvious in these cases is very good, it's also good to point out when.

I mostly use neovim for editing files remotely and have come to miss AI Autocomplete but was pleasantly surprised to find my preferred AI IDE Tool also maintains a Neovim plugin [1]. Not as many features as its VS Code and Intellij/Rider plugins, but its core autocomplete is a major productivity win.

Please do more official AI assistant plugins for Neovim

Tried Q Developer but it’s just not keeping pace with other competitive offerings.
It’s like Amazon’s Chime to everyone else’s Zoom. It works, but unless you have no other option it’s not clear why I’d choose to use it.

Is it just me or the new Amazon/AWS is giving off some serious early-Satya Nadella Microsoft vibes. Kiro, Q....
Think back to when they (MSOFT) were putting out tools like TypeScript, WSL, and VS Code. It looks like Amazon is doing something similar now, building cool tech for developers without plastering the AWS brand all over it.
mikojana day ago
It is literally called amazonq.nvim and it makes it so some Amazon service is usable with NeoVIM.

You're right, my bad.

Your thesis is valid until "without plastering the AWS brand all over it." Lol

yeah what I meant by that was like, I have to signup via AWS console or something stupid like that - i mis-explained my thought

AWS Builder Id does not require an AWS account, just an email address and that's pretty much it.

From the README:
