Kingy AI Take

Worth tracking because code-specialized models became central to the AI developer tools market.

Who it is for

What feels promising

Broad programming language coverage and FIM support for autocomplete workflows.

What feels unproven

License terms and replacement cadence require careful tracking for commercial builders.
