   description: |
     Every day millions of developers use GitLab to contribute code. In February, we launched a closed Beta of this feature, and since then, we’ve been working hard to make [Code Suggestions](https://about.gitlab.com/direction/modelops/ai_assisted/code_suggestions/) available to more developers. During Beta, Code Suggestions is free for all Ultimate and Premium customers. Group admins can enable this setting with a new [group-level control](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/code_suggestions.html#group-level-setting). Depending on the prompt, the extension either provides entire code snippets like generating functions or completes the current line. Simply pressing the tab key allows you to accept the suggestions.
 
-    GitLab Code Suggestions can improve developer productivity, focus, and innovation without context switching and within a single DevSecOps platform. Please note that this is a high-demand [Beta feature](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/policy/alpha-beta-support.html#beta) and may have unscheduled downtime. During beta, it may also produce low-quality or incomplete suggestions. Read about [known limitations](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/code_suggestions.html#known-limitations). We are continuously iterating to improve Code Suggestions and make it better. Give it a try, and [share your feedback with us](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/405152).
