GOOGLE LAUNCHES CODE ASSIST, ITS LATEST CHALLENGER TO GITHUB’S COPILOT

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Google's Gemini Code Assist is an enterprise-focused AI code completion and assistance tool. It was previously offered under the now-defunct Duet AI branding which became generally available in late 2023. Code Assist is both a rebrand and a major update. It uses Gemini 1.5 Pro, which has a million-token context window. Code Assist will be available through plug-ins for popular editors like VS Code.
