Kite, a leading AI-powered coding assistant that helps
programmers code faster with Multi-Line Completions, today announced the
availability of Kite Team Server. Kite Team Server is the industry's first
enterprise-ready self-hosted Machine Learning (ML) engine for four token
autocomplete technology. Today's product release builds on the existing UI of
Kite Free, which 400,000 developers use to code 18% faster each month.
"As a startup that is growing its team of developers, it is paramount
that we maximize efficiency when it comes to code completion," said Aasim
Sani, Co-Founder and COO at Orai. "Once our engineering team started using
Kite we became much more productive and our time to market on product
development has increased tremendously. Kite makes writing code less repetitive
and even fun, which has been important in our goal to increase the number of
full-time developers on staff."
Programmers spend too much time on repetitive tasks such as looking up
documentation on the web, fixing simple errors, and writing boilerplate code.
These inefficiencies make programming less enjoyable, block creative problem
solving, and contribute to teams shipping less software. By surfacing the right
information at the right time, Kite helps programmers write better code faster.
Kite Team Server provides better code completions, more often, due to the
deployment of an advanced GPU that sits inside a company's internal network.
The Kite Team Server GPU trains personalized ML models based on a company's
proprietary codebase so that code never leaves a company's network. Completions
shown by Kite Team Server guide developers to repeat idioms and patterns from
internal code.
Compared to Kite Free, the company's flagship offering for individuals, the
average completion length doubles from two words to four words, and completions
used per line of code written increases by 40%. These code suggestions help
developers stay in flow and write code faster.
Kite Team Server provides completions in all of the most popular programming
languages and IDEs. Enterprise developer teams don't write code in one language
or even one editor. Teams that use Kite can leverage the completions engine
across a wide range of tasks with built-in support for 16 languages and 16
IDEs.
Kite Team Server Includes:
- Enterprise
grade security - insert product feature description here (1-2 sentences)
- Larger
machine learning models: Kite Team Server is powered by server-scale ML
models that use 25X as many parameters as the ones used for Kite Free.
Completions powered by Kite Team Server are longer and smarter.
- Custom
models trained on company code: Kite Team Server allows companies to
securely train machine learning models on their proprietary code base.
Personalized completions are more relevant and guide developers to repeat
idioms and patterns from internal code. Junior developers can more easily
navigate unfamiliar or undocumented code.
"Over 400,000 developers trust Kite, including software engineers at
35% of the Fortune 500, and so this technology has been stress tested the past
few years," said Adam Smith, CEO and co-founder. "We have grown from
a single Python code completion tool into present-day where enterprise teams
can use Kite across 16 programming languages. Our users asked for this enterprise
version of Kite. So this completions engine is a solution that is agile enough
to provide value to teams of just a few developers and robust enough to support
thousands of simultaneous users. Our new enterprise-grade application
architecture satisfies the most rigorous IT and security requirements."
