It may not be a model quality issue. It may be that GitHub wants to sell a lot more of Copilot, including to companies who refuse to use anything from OpenAI. Now GitHub can say "Oh that's fine, we have these two other lovely providers to choose from."
Also, after Anthropic and Google sold massive amounts of pre-paid usage credits to companies, those companies want to draw down that usage and get their money's worth. GitHub might allow them to do that through Copilot, and therefore get their business.
- manquer 2y agoI think that the credit scenario is more true for OpenAI than others . Existing Azure commits can be used to buy OpenAI via the marketplace. It will never be as simple for any non Azure partner (Only Github is tying up with Anthropic here not Azure) GitHub doesn’t even support using those azure managed APIs for copilot today, it is just a license you can buy currently and add to a user license. The best you can do is pay for copilot with existing azure commits . This seems about not being left behind as other models outpace what copilot can do with their custom OpenAI model that doesn’t seem to getting updated .
