Github Copilot, an AI coding assistant for Microsoft owned Github, will soon become more expensive.
Friday, Github Announce GitHub Copilot’s “Advanced Request”, a new system when users switch to AI models other than tasks other than AI models (such as “proxy” encoding and multi-file editing). While Github Copilot subscribers can still take unlimited actions using the basic model (GPT-4O of OpenAI), they will now be capped with tasks and actions such as Anthropic’s 3.7 sonnets (such as Anthropic’s 3.7 sonnets).
Github is in one Blog Posts. As for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise users, they will receive 300 and 1,000 monthly premium requests from May 12 to May 19, respectively.
Any of these plans can purchase additional premium requests for $0.04 per request, or upgrade to Github’s new Copilot Pro+ Plan. Github said the Copilot Pro+ is priced at $39 per month, offering 1,500 premium requests and “visit the best model”, including OpenAI’s GPT-4.5.
Copilot’s more powerful model’s effective price increase, this is The day after AI coding platform Devin raised interest rates for some userswhich may be a reflection of the higher computational costs incurred by these models. Reasoning models such as 3.7 sonnets require more time to check their answers, making them more reliable while also increasing the calculations required to run them.
However, Copilot is not unprofitable. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in August last year account For 2024, Github revenue growth is more than 40%, which is already bigger than Github’s business that acquired Github about seven years ago.
