• GPT-4o Copilot for VS Code: Introduced for VS Code users, built on GPT-4o mini foundation with training from 275,000+ public repos in 30+ languages. Expected to provide more accurate code suggestions and boost developer productivity.
• Announcement Source: Made through a changelog post on the GitHub blog.
• Key Enhancements: Utilizes vast high-quality code dataset for precise completions, fast and efficient suggestion generation, and supports various dev projects across 30+ languages.
• Integration in VS Code: Users can access Copilot menu in title bar, choose Command Palette, or select from available models.
• For Copilot Business/Enterprise Users: Admins need to enable "Editor preview features" in Copilot policy settings.
• For Copilot Free Users: Using the model counts towards 2,000 free monthly completions. It will be available in JetBrains IDEs soon.
• In JetBrains IDEs: Users can click icon in status bar, go to settings dialog, and select preferred model.
• CEO's Perspective: Johan Sanneblad said GitHub Copilot is catching up to Cursor IDE, missing prompt caching and local model for code merging. Good for Java and C# users.
• Next Edit Suggestions: Can predict and suggest logical edits based on code context, identify potential modifications, and save time.
• Model Switching: Switching AI model doesn't affect Copilot Chat model. Data collection and usage policy remains unchanged.
• User Feedback: Encouraged to share experiences to improve model performance and usability.
