5 | | -Cody provides intelligent **autocomplete** suggestions as you type using context from your code, such as your open files and file history. Cody autocompletes single lines or whole functions in any programming language, configuration file, or documentation. It’s powered by the latest instant LLM models for accuracy and performance. |
| 5 | +Cody predicts what you're trying to write before you even type it. It offers single-line and multi-line suggestions based on the provided code context, ensuring accurate autocomplete suggestions. Cody autocomplete supports a [wide range of programming languages](/cody/faq#what-programming-languages-does-cody-support) because it uses LLMs trained on broad data. |

|
15 | | -Cody's autocompletion model has been designed to enhance speed, accuracy, and the overall user experience. Both Cody Free and Pro users can expect the following with Cody's autocomplete: |
| 11 | +The autocompletion model is designed to enhance speed, accuracy, and the overall user experience that offers: |
16 | 12 |
|
17 | 13 | - **Increased speed and reduced latency**: The P75 latency is reduced by 350 ms, making the autocomplete function faster |
18 | 14 | - **Improved accuracy for multi-line completions**: Completions across multiple lines are more relevant and accurately aligned with the surrounding code context |
19 | 15 | - **Higher completion acceptance rates**: The average completion acceptance rate (CAR) is improved by more than 4%, providing a more intuitive user interaction |

| 17 | +## How does autocomplete work? |
22 | 18 |
|
23 | | -## Prerequisites |
| 19 | +First, you'll need the following setup: |
24 | 20 |
|
25 | | -To view how Cody provides code completions , you'll need to have the following: |
| 21 | +- A Free or Pro account via Sourcegraph.com or a Sourcegraph Enterprise instance |
| 22 | +- A supported editor extension (VS Code, JetBrains) |
26 | 23 |
|
27 | | -- A Free or Pro account via Sourcegraph.com or a Sourcegraph Enterprise account |
28 | | -- A supported editor extension (VS Code, JetBrains) installed |
| 24 | +The autocomplete feature is enabled by default on all IDE extensions, i.e., VS Code and JetBrains. Generally, there's a checkbox in the extension settings that confirms whether the autocomplete feature is enabled or not. In addition, some autocomplete settings are optionally and explicitly supported by some IDEs. For example, JetBrains IDEs have settings that allow you to customize colors and styles of the autocomplete suggestions. |
29 | 25 |
|
30 | | -## Working with code autocomplete |
| 26 | +When you start typing, Cody will automatically provide suggestions and context-aware completions based on your coding patterns and the code context. These autocomplete suggestions appear as grayed text. Press the `Enter` or `Tab` to accept the suggestion. |

Generally, there's a checkbox in the extension settings that confirms whether the autocomplete feature is enabled or not. In addition, some autocomplete settings are optionally and explicitly supported by some IDEs. For example, JetBrains IDEs have custom settings that allow you to customize colors and styles of the autocomplete suggestions. |

|
| 34 | +<Callout type="note">Users with admin access can only configure autocomplete settings.</Callout> |
| 35 | + |
38 | 36 | By default, a fully configured Sourcegraph instance picks a default LLM to generate code autocomplete. Custom models can be used for Cody autocomplete based on your specific requirements. To do so: |
39 | 37 |
|
40 | 38 | - Go to the **Site admin** of your Sourcegraph instance |
41 | 39 | - Navigate to **Configuration > Site configuration** |
42 | 40 | - Here, edit the `completionModel` option inside the `completions` |
43 | 41 | - Click the **Save** button to save the changes |
44 | 42 |
|
45 | | -<Callout type="note">Cody autocomplete works only with Anthropic's Claude Instant model. Support for other models will be coming later.</Callout> |
46 | | - |
47 | | -<Callout type="info">Self-hosted customers must update to version 5.0.4 or more to use autocomplete.</Callout> |

51 | | -Cody Autocomplete goes beyond basic suggestions. It understands your code context, offering tailored recommendations based on your current project, language, and coding patterns. Let's view a quick demo using the VS Code extension. |

57 | | -Here, Cody provides suggestions based on your current project, language, and coding patterns. Initially, the `code.js` file is empty. Start writing a function for `bubbleSort`. As you type, Cody suggests the function name and the function parameters. |
| 43 | +<Callout type="note">Cody supports and uses a set of models for autocomplete. Learn more about these [here](/cody/capabilities/supported-models#autocomplete).</Callout> |
58 | 44 |
|
59 | | -Cody automatically suggests the next few code snippets for every new line based on your current context, i.e., functions for `insertionSort` and `selectionSort`. |
