Github Copilot is instant but weaker than codex, so I often need to go to OpenAI’s website and paste some code. With this extension, you can just highlight your code and call the Codex API.
Step 1:
Step 2 - highlight code as if you are going to paste it into the Playground, this will be the prompt:
Step 3:
Completion:
You can change the max length:
Commands (Ctrl+Shift+P):
OpenAI Codex: Set API Key - set at the beginning
OpenAI Codex: Call Codex API
OpenAI Codex: Set Max Length

Nice! Good to see you’ve been busy.
Thanks for stopping by.
I’ll let you know how this goes, I’m going to install it. I also use Github Copilot, but find myself copying and pasting my code into the playground because I get better results and flexibility!

Hello,
As I’m still learning how to code, I would be happy to test it. For now, I’m using Copilot and it’s kinda good for beginners, for example completing some JavaScript functions after I set variables and add some notes. It sometimes repeats itself or gives some code that is not working at all but it’s also very helpful in completing some code.
I was looking for Codex extension and I’m happy that someone made it

Thanks for sharing, will try it out.
I built a python app ( See GitHub - wgong/gpt3sql: use GPT3 to generate SQL from text) to replicate playground, where each request/response is logged into SQLite database
And generated python or SQL code can be validated on the spot.
Is it hard to do that in vs code?

Please visit https://www.fastdevai.com and register for “Code Generation”. Please test and inform how do you find it. We generate code from English description using Codex. However, we are doing some pre-processing to improve the overall result. Further, we also generate data analytics code using Python Pandas and SQL. Looking for valuable inputs. Thanks.

As a side note, I’ve build something like that for Jetbrains IDEs: CodeAssist - IntelliJ IDEs Plugin | Marketplace
So if anyone uses Jetbrains IDE (PyCharm, IntelliJ, PHPStorm, Webstorm etc.) instead of VSCode and want to have better completions, then you can try my plugin.
EDIT:
If it’s incompatbile with your version and you are not able to install it now, then it’s a mistake and it will be compatible soon.
