Github’s co -pilot, Github’s coding assistant, owned by Microsoft, could soon become more expensive for some users.
Friday, Github announced “Premium requests” for Github Coquilot, a new system that imposes speed limits when users change to AI models that are not the base model for tasks such as “agent” coding and multiple file editions. While Github co -ilot subscribers can still take unlimited actions with the base (GPT-4O of OpenAI), now the tasks and actions with newer models will be limited, such as sonnet 3.7 of Anthrope.
Customers at the Copilot Pro level ($ 20 per month) will receive 300 applications from monthly premiums as of May 5, Github said in a Blog. As for Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise users, they will receive 300 and 1,000 monthly premium applications, respectively, as of May 12 and 19.
Customers in any of these plans can buy additional premium requests at $ 0.04 for request or update to the new GitHub Copilot Pro+ plan. From $ 39 per month, Copilot Pro
The effective price increase for the most capable models of co -senses, which occurs one day after the devin coding platform increased rates for some users, is perhaps a reflection of the highest computer costs that incur these models. Reasoning models such as sonnet 3.7 take more time to verify their answers, making them more reliable, but also increasing the necessary computer science to execute them.
However, the co -pilot is not profitable. The executive director of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, said last August that Copilot represented more than 40% of Github’s income in 2024 and is already a bigger business than every Github when the technological giant acquired it approximately seven years ago.
