The title is somewhat bait. It reads like MSFT is using less AI, while in fact it's just a force swap to Copilot.
Arguably, Copilot is GPT 5? Not sure what the CLI offers behind the covers.
- patentlyze 5mo agoI disagree. As someone who just got a new Windows laptop with Copilot baked(forced) in I've tested Copilot a lot. It. is. so. bad. It feels like it's at least 1-2 years behind the current top models.
- gbro3n 5mo agoBut there isn't a copilot model is there? Just a harnesse, and the vscode copilot extension is pretty good (haven't tried the tui)
- tored 5mo agoCopilot is not the same agent as GitHub Copilot.
- keyle 5mo agoYour Copilot free offering isn't the Copilot they're using within the company for coding assistant. It's confusing I know.
- alternatex 5mo agoCopilot cannot be behind any models because it's a harness, not a model. You can use any of the popular models through it, including Claude models. Though people have been saying that Claude CLI is a better experience.
- meowkit 5mo agoCopilot is the name for the harness / wrapper of MSFT products The CLI can swap to whatever model (/models) based on your subscriptions. The copilots on desktop or Office Apps are likely just GPT5 nano or other tiny models with cheap inference
- golf1052 5mo agoEmployees (at least on my team) get access to the Claude models as well when using Copilot CLI.
