Can anybody validate this Github Copilot trick for accessign Opus 4.6? Sounds too good to be true.
- specproc 6mo agoI'm not what I'd call a heavy user, but I've also mainly been using Copilot in VS Code on the basic sub. You do get Opus 4.6, and it's really affordable. I usually go over my limits, but I'm yet to spend more than 5 USD on the surcharges. Not seen a reason to switch, but YMMV depending on what you're doing and how you work.
- nesk_ 6mo agoIt is true, it's the official pricing of GitHub Copilot.
- rzzzt 6mo agoWhy is GitHub sticking to per-request pricing when other providers switched to per-token for the high performing models?
- sumedh 6mo agoMaybe MS wants people to use Co Pilot.
- Supermancho 6mo agoMore likely loss leader to market capture. Not unusual for MSFT. XBox One, Razor and Blade, etc.
- brushfoot 6mo agoLongtime happy Copilot user here. It's true. The pricing is so good that it's the only way I do agentic coding now. I've never spent more than $40 in a month on Opus, and I give it large specs to work on. I usually spend $20 or so.
