GitHub has recently made its AI programming assistant, CodeGPT (now called GitHub Copilot), free for Visual Studio Code developers, with usage limits. This move comes as part of the company’s strategy to integrate AI more deeply into software development workflows and broaden access to advanced coding assistance without cost barriers. By Carl Franzen.
Key points:
- GitHub makes CodeGPT (Copilot) free for all Visual Studio Code users
- Free version has limitations compared to paid tier
- Tool uses machine learning algorithms trained on open-source code repositories
- Aims to enhance productivity in software development
The tool uses machine learning algorithms trained on a vast array of open-source code repositories to provide suggestions for tasks such as debugging, documentation, and coding. While the free version will have some limitations, including reduced accuracy and fewer features compared to the paid tier, it still aims to augment human capabilities in software development.
