We made some progress towards better models for code, but the problem is very engineering intensive. The largest issue is that state-of-the-art models don’t understand the structure of code, such as non-local context. As of late 2022, Copilot shows a lot of promise but still has a long way to go. You can see this in Github Copilot, which is built by Github in collaboration with Open AI. We built the most-advanced AI for helping developers at the time, but it fell short of the 10× improvement required to break through because the state of the art for ML on code is not good enough. While we built next-generation experiences for developers, our business failed in two important ways.įirst, we failed to deliver our vision of AI-assisted programming because we were 10+ years too early to market, i.e. Thank you to everyone who used our product, and thank you to our team members and investors who made this journey possible. We have stopped working on Kite, and are no longer supporting the Kite software. From 2014 to 2021, Kite was a startup using AI to help developers write code.
