       | Interesting launch. I saw you were the original founder of
       | tabnine. I'm curious as to what you've learned since you launched
       | tabnine in 2018, and why you're deciding to create another code
       | completion ide extension.
       | 
       | Will be trying this out.

         | 
         | There are lots of other potential use cases for the technology,
         | but they involve more business risk (ie, the risk that you
         | create a technically sound product that isn't very useful).

       | inference happens locally?
