So given that I primarily interact with LLM's through VSCode, and I prefer the Copilot interface to the Claude Code plugin, does anyone have any suggestions on other plugins I should try? In my experience, Copilot is much more "pl

Contrary to the other reply, I'm going to say yes, that's exactly what it means. For Github Copilot users with annual plans that are grandfathered in to per-prompt rather than per-token pricing, Github is increasing the cost of So

>Opus 4.7 seems like a model more intended to save Anthropic money than push the bar. How so? By all accounts I've read so far it uses more tokens overall for roughly the same results.

Copilot's per-prompt pricing model is overwhelmingly the best value for money right now, although they more than doubled the price of Opus 4.7 compared to 4.6 and completely removed 4.5 and 4.6, which erodes their lead somewhat. Copilo

1 Cycle is discharging from 100-0 and charging from 0-100, regardless of how many times the phone is charged, so for a user that averages 50% battery drain each day, 1000 cycles would actually be ~6 years. I have no idea what the actual ave

My point is that if it's all of those things (crucially, including cheaper), then it's a Pro-Apple move to manufacture iPhones that way. There would be no downside. To the extent they make anti-consumer moves at all (which I'

No, the list was "Cheaper, higher battery capacity, water proof, smaller, stronger". I don't think it's all that controversial to say that there are engineering tradeoffs to be made here. You can make a waterproof phone

Copilot's per-prompt pricing is crazy unsustainable. I doubt even a 2.5x increase is enough. I've had a couple of times where I've kept Copilot/Opus 4.6 occupied for a full day on a single prompt recently.

I'm forced to do this at work. It adjusts the net value to very close to zero. Github's pay per prompt pricing model is phenomenal for users to the point of blowing Anthropic's subscription offering out of the water, much les
