Having contributed to the Fig autocomplete specs, I find this sad. The Amazon product Fig was built into basically works as replacement, which is good. Still, the core value of this product are the open-source autocomplete specs: https://github.com/withfig/autocomplete. What's going to happen to that? It looks like they are still using it in the Amazon product. It should definitely be possible for an open-source re-implementation of the Fig UI to use those specs. There is a lot of knowledge encoded in there!
The open-source project will continue to be maintained! The open-source autocomplete specs are used by the CodeWhisperer CLI and will be for the foreseeable future.

Where can I read more about the space of FOSS, not-mining-your-data-for-profit, don't-call-home, code completion solutions?
Thanks Matt, best of luck to the team!
withfig/autocomplete is also used by other projects, who might be in a position to fork if something happens. The ones I know of are:
- https://github.com/microsoft/inshellisense
- https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp
oh thank you for sharing this! I knew about warp but didn't realize it was using the autocomplete specs
