GitHub Launches Free Version of Copilot AI Tool

GitHub, owned by Microsoft, has announced a free version of its popular AI-powered coding assistant, Copilot. This move makes Copilot accessible to a broader audience, shipping by default with Microsoft’s VS Code editor.

Key Highlights:

1. Free Plan Features:
   

   • 2,000 code completions per month for occasional users.

   • Access to AI models Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet and OpenAI’s GPT-4o (paid users can choose from additional models).

   • Copilot Chat allows up to 50 messages per month.

   • Full access to Copilot Extensions and skills across platforms like VS Code, Visual Studio, JetBrains, and GitHub.com.
     

2. Limitations:
   

   • Designed for occasional users rather than large-scale projects.

   • Each AI-generated code suggestion counts toward the completion limit, whether used or not.
     

3. Expanding Developer Accessibility:
   

   • GitHub aims to enable 1 billion developers globally, focusing on affordability for users in regions with lower average incomes, such as South Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

   • Free access removes financial barriers and supports aspiring developers worldwide.
     

4. Strategic Move:
   

   • GitHub faces competition from other AI coding tools like Tabnine, AWS’s offerings, and Qodo.

   • By adopting a freemium model and leveraging VS Code’s wide reach, GitHub strengthens its foothold in the market.
     

5. Vision for the Future:
   

   • GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke emphasized the company’s mission to make AI-powered development tools widely available.

   • Free Copilot aims to inspire a new wave of developers while making the joy of creating software accessible to all.

This shift to a freemium model underscores GitHub’s commitment to fostering innovation and inclusivity, aligning with its long-term vision of empowering a global developer community.
