Summary: GitHub Copilot launches new Free and Pro+ tiers

Why It Matters: The product is moving from a single paid tool to a multi-tier platform. By adding a free version and a high-end "Pro+" version, they are trying to capture both hobbyists and power users at the same time.

What Changed:

• Added a "Free" tier that gives users 50 chat requests and 2,000 code completions per month.
• Introduced a "Pro+" tier at $39/month which includes access to more powerful AI models like Claude Opus.
• Added "Agent mode" which allows the AI to write code and create pull requests autonomously.
• Expanded model selection to include options from Anthropic and Google alongside OpenAI.
• Updated the homepage to focus entirely on AI features rather than general code hosting.
