Tabnine is a code completion tool which uses generative artificial intelligence to assist users by autocompleting code. It was created in 2018 by Jacob Jackson, a student at the University of Waterloo. [1] It is now developed by Tabnine, a software company founded under the name Codota by Dror Weiss and Eran Yahav in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 2013, and renamed to Tabnine in 2021. [2] [3] [4] Initially established under the name Codota, the company underwent a rebranding in May 2021 following the release of the company’s first large language model based AI coding assistant, adopting the name Tabnine. [5] [6]
Tabnine was established as Codota in 2013 by Dror Weiss and Eran Yahav in Tel Aviv, Israel. [7] [8] [9] Tabnine, initially founded under the name Codota, was created to develop tools based on over a decade of academic research at the Technion. [10] [11] [12] [13]
Codota, the predecessor of Tabnine, secured $2 million in seed investment in June 2017. Following this, in June 2018, the company introduced the first AI-based code completion for Java IDE. [14] [10] [13]
In 2019, Codota acquired a product called Tabnine, which used the newly available large-language model technology to provide generative AI for software code across a broader range of programming languages across five IDEs. Codota replaced its earlier approach to code generation with this new approach to generative AI. [15] [16] [10] [17] [18]
The company secured a Series A round of funding in April 2020, raising $12 million. [14] [19] [20] [21] [22]
On May 26, 2021, Codota changed its name to Tabnine and underwent a corresponding rebranding. [23]
By April 2022, Tabnine reached over one million users. In June of the same year, Tabnine launched models that could predict full lines and snippets of code. [24] The same year it raised $15.5 mln in a funding round led co-led by Qualcomm Ventures. [25]
In June 2023, Tabnine introduced an AI-powered chat agent, enabling developers to use natural language to generate code, to explain code, to generate tests and documentation, and to propose fixes to code. [26]
In November 2023, Tabnine closed a Series B round of funding, raising $25 million to scale the company’s operations. [27]
Tabnine's headquarters is located in Tel Aviv, Israel, with an additional corporate entity in the United States. [15]
Tabnine generative AI for software development is used by 1,000,000 developers. It has 10 million installations across VS Code and JetBrains. [24] [28] [29]
Since its founding, Dror Weiss has served as CEO, with Eran Yahav as CTO. [15] [13]
