On top of Hacker News (the target demographic for coders) without an effective monetizable call to action? What a missed opportunity. Github Copilot makes +10

On top of Hacker News (the target demographic for coders) without an effective monetizable call to action? What a missed opportunity.
Github Copilot makes +100M/year, if not way way more.
Having a VS Code extension for Mistral would be a revenue stream if it was one-click and better or cheaper than Github Copilot. It is malpractice in my mind to not be doing this if you are investing in creating coding models.
- refulgentis 2y agoI see, that makes sense: make an extension and charge for it. I assumed they meant free x local. It doesn't seem rational to make this one paid: its significantly smaller than their better model, and even more so than Copilot's.
- treyd 2y agoHow the hell does Copilot make $100M/yr? That seems an order of magnitude higher than I would expect at the high end.
- ketzo 2y agoif we’re talking individual subscriptions that’s ~1M paying subscribers. honestly that number would not totally shock me? plus they’ve got some kinda enterprise/team offering; assuming they charge extra there, I could easily see $100M ARR but that’s pure conjecture, and generous at that; I don’t think we have any hard numbers
- kcb 2y agoI was thinking the opposite...remember there's enterprise subscriptions and multi-million dollar contracts with single companies.
- refulgentis 2y ago???
- baq 2y agoyeah exactly only $100M/yr? barely covers expenses
