Microsoft GitHub’s Copilot programming model has been trained to perform new tasks and has been renamed as Copilot X. It will rely on an expanding set of language models including GPT-3.5-turbo and GPT-4 instead of OpenAI’s Codex. Copilot offers coding suggestions to developers, with prompt-and-response conversations taking place via an IDE sidebar chat window. As of last month, Copilot had a hand in 46% of the code being created on Microsofts cloud repo depot and had helped developers program up to 55% faster. This is the future of AI-powered software development according to GitHub CEO, Thomas Dohmke.
