tl;dr: We need an open-source LLM that can predict the next edit instead of autocompletion. Cursor vs Zed Cursor, made by Anysphere, is an AI-first startup aiming to revolutionize coding with AI. The editor is just a way to verify their theory. Zed, created by the former team of Atom, is a GPU-accelerated editor that incorporates AI as one of its features. Zed is a good editor, and Cursor is currently the best AI copilot available....

tl;dr: Manually building context for LLMs and writing good prompts is a better approach.

However, as we delve deeper into the intricacies of software engineering, it becomes apparent that the current implementation of LLM-powered autocomplete may not be the optimal solution for enhancing developer productivity and code quality....
