Sweep AI

Hi HN, I've been a JetBrains user for the last couple of years, and felt that JetBrains was missing a strong autocomplete tool. Over the last 6 months, we've fine-tuned our own model, built our own inference stack, and integrated it deeply into the IDE. You can use the autocomplete plugin for free (no sign up required) on the JetBrains marketplace. Here's how we got here: We started with standard FIM (fill-in-the-middle) autocomplete. Other AI code completion tools in JetBrains can only "add" code at your cursor position. This can be helpful when writing assert statements in unit tests, but…

Sweep AI launched on May 8, 2023 with 8 votes, #1,797 of 4,910 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

  • Sweep, Open-weights 1.5B model for next-edit autocompleteJan 2026 · huggingface.co · ▲534

    Hey HN, we trained and open-sourced a 1.5B model that predicts your next edits, similar to Cursor. You can download the weights here (https://huggingface.co/sweepai/sweep-next-edit-1.5b) or try it in our JetBrains plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26860-sweep-ai-autocomp...). Next-edit autocomplete differs from standard autocomplete by using your recent edits as context when predicting completions. The model is small enough to run locally while outperforming models 4x its size on both speed and accuracy. We tested against Mercury…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
