GitHub has announced the addition of the GPT-4 model to its coding assistant, Copilot X
This new version will provide developers with an experience similar to what you have with ChatGPT
GitHub has built a chatbot into the editor environment, which appears in various development tools like Visual Studio and VS Code. This chatbot will allow developers to interact with it through text or voice requests. In addition, you will have the full context of your users' development environment, so you will be able to offer personalized advice in all phases of development.
In the coding stage, Copilot X will continue to rely on the Codex model, a variant of the GPT-3 model, whose mission is to automatically complete lines of code. Instead, for the generation of test cases, answering questions and for documentation, they will use another slower and more accurate model.
In the code deployment phase, Copilot X will check that the code is fully tested before it goes into production. If any part of the code is not tested, the wizard will display an error message when the developer clicks the deploy button.
More than a million developers and more than 5,000 companies have already used Copilot. It is available in two plans, the first for developers at $10 per month, and the second for businesses at $19 per developer per month. Those who want to use Copilot X can join the waiting list on the GitHub website.
