Codium (now Qodo) and Codeium: Clearing Up the Confusion

Introduction

We’ve noticed that there’s been some confusion between our company, Codium (now Qodo (formerly Codium)), and another company, Codeium. The names sound identical, and both companies operate in the code generation domain, which understandably leads to mix-ups. Users often praise one company while posting a screenshot of the other. Some even reach out to Codium’s (now Qodo’s (formerly Codium)) Discord for support, only to realize they were using Codeium’s product. Always double-check the company name and logo to avoid such mix-ups. This blog post aims to clarify the differences and help you make informed choices.

How to Distinguish Between Codium (now Qodo (formerly Codium)) and Codeium

Codium (now Qodo (formerly Codium)) focuses on code integrity, mainly test code generation, code suggestions, and code review. Codeium is more about code generation and code completion.

Lastly, our logo, which is colored purple and green and has a unique lenses icon that represents what we stand for. We view Codium (now Qodo (formerly Codium)) as the ‘understanding’ company. That means understanding the deeper meaning behind code, the developer’s intent, and their frustration around test-writing.

We conveyed this idea visually through floating glass disks, each with distorted code inside. With Codium (now Qodo (formerly Codium)), these disks align to reveal the code’s deeper meaning. Suddenly, developers feel clarity and understanding where there was once distortion and uncertainty.
