NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Tabnine is a contender in the currently busy space of coding assistants. It provides in-line code completion suggestions and a chat directly in the IDE. Similar to GitHub Copilot, Tabnine has been around since before the current hype cycle and is therefore one of the more mature products in the space. Unlike Copilot, it uses a model that is only trained on permissively licensed code and offers a version to self-host for organizations that worry about sending their code snippets to a third-party service. Tabnine is available as a limited free version as well as a paid version, which has more comprehensive suggestions and also offers a mode with a local (albeit less powerful) model that you can use without internet connection.
