I'm not sure if you are referring to the old or new plan?
Github Copilot offered probably the best value and was IMO underappreciated for a long time; I've been an annual subscriber since day 1.
The changes announced a few days ago completely revoke that value proposition, I doubt I'll continue with it.
- cbdevidal 5mo agoThere’s a new plan? Ugh. I signed up about five months ago.
- mellosouls 5mo agoYes, unfortunately. eg. discussions below - I think I have seen multipliers of 9x cost to existing use cases: Changes to GitHub Copilot individual plans https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47838508 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47838508 GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47923357 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47923357 Multipliers for annual subscribers: https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing/model-multipliers-for-annual-plans https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/reference/copilot-billing...
- cbdevidal 5mo agoThanks for the heads up. I had a brainstorming session with Gemini about this (I can’t believe I just typed that sentence lol) and the plan is to switch to two local LLMs; a lightweight, fast 3B model for autocomplete, and a slower 14B model for chat sessions. Then I can switch to a DeepSeek Premium API key for the really tough stuff. It recommended the Continue plugin for VSCode. When I am away from home I’ll run autossh on my dinosaur road laptop (which probably has 8MB video RAM lol) to connect to the home PC’s LLMs. Gemini assured me that this should run well over my intermittent cellular connection. You just saved me some headache and money :-D
