Best choise to continue AI coding without ChatGPT Plus? (alien.top)

Well the code quality has gotten pretty bad so I think it's time to cancel my subscription to ChatGPT Plus. I have an RX 6600 and an GTX 1650 Super so I don't think local models are a possible choise (at least for the same style of coding that is done with GPT-4). But I decided to post here anyway since you guys are very knowledgeable. I was looking at cursor.ai and it seemed pretty good. I don't know how good it's now since OpenAI has decreased the performance of GPT-4 but I have heard that the API is still ok. Also there is refract which could be a similar choise too. What do you recommend? I do coding in mostly Python and sometimes C++.

Try Pieces, it is fo free. Its has a coding assistant (you can choose between different models) that you can feed with websites, files and snippets. The assistant is specialized for coding and deliveres really good results for me and when given additional context through files or website content it follows the instructions astonishingly well.

It is much more than just the coding assistant though, it is a tool to quick capture code snippets and leverage them. It also has integrations for the browser, vs code, jetbrains and obsidian.

Can only recommend it!

Looks really nice - I watched the video demo and I can't say that my coding experience really calls for any of the things in the demo. Most of what I deal with is managing integration of a large set of data models. The actual coding is the easy part, figuring out what to code is the hard part.
