AI Engineer World's Fair 2024 Kevin Hou codebase retrieval talk

Abstract

Codeium is trailblazing the next frontier in retrieval and hint: it’s not just embeddings. Learn what the next generation of retrieval looks like and how 1M+ developers are already leveraging this superpower using the Codeium IDE plugin for AI autocomplete, chat, and search. We’ll dive deep into how existing benchmarks are failing us, what it takes to serve our custom models at scale, and what the future of AI-assisted software development looks like.
