More context, more intelligence, better code.

Hey Devs,

Our July 10th Product Hunt launch of Pieces Copilot+ with Live Context was a huge success! Thanks to the amazing support from the community, we finished as #1 Product of the Day ??

Based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback around Live Context, we launched support for this powerful feature across our IDE extensions, giving users the ability to ask their favorite LLM anything about their active workflow, without ever leaving the editor. See how this works in VS Code.

The team has also been busy supporting a number of virtual and in-person events, and conducting workshops on how to use Pieces, especially for students!

TL;DR: What's New This Month?

• Extend Pieces to Your Favorite Tool: This month we announced a brand new integration with Sublime Text! This serves as the first ever conversational copilot within Sublime. This new plugin, along with our massively upgraded CLI tool, are both open sourced to the public–we’d love to see your first contribution! Plus, stay tuned for our Raycast extension launching soon ??
• Sponsoring THAT Conference: Pieces was a proud sponsor at THAT Conference in Wisconsin, which took place from July 29th to August 1st. THAT Conference is known for its community-focused approach, and it featured various workshops, sessions, and open spaces designed for software developers. Check out some of the highlights on our YouTube channel, and follow us there to see presentations and more from the Pieces team!
• Sponsoring MLH Global Hack Week for AI: Major League Hacking (MLH) is organizing the Global Hack Week focused on AI/ML, and we're thrilled to be sponsoring! Running from August 9th to August 15th, this week-long event provides a perfect opportunity for students and beginners to explore AI and ML in a supportive environment. Our team will be conducting two workshops, and offering a set of exciting challenges for the participants to tackle throughout the week. If you’re interested in participating, join our Discord for more updates!
• Support for 14 New Cloud and Local LLMs: Pieces just got a lot more powerful. In our latest major release, we announced support for 14 new large language models like Claude 3.5, Gemini 1.5 Pro, Llama 3, and many more from industry leaders Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic. This expansion brings our total cloud and local LLM offerings to 25. We've also introduced intelligent CPU vs GPU local LLM routing, automatically optimizing model performance for your specific machine.
• Join our Weekly Live Streams: We have been hosting some amazing guests for our weekly live streams! This week you can learn about fine-grained access control with Daniel from Cerbos. If you’d like to recap our previous streams, check out our playlist on YouTube.
• Coding in Context: The Pieces Podcast: This week on the podcast, we’ll be chatting with Lizzie Siegle from Cloudflare about AI at the Edge. Make sure to follow our podcast to get notified about the next episode.
