Why It Matters: GitHub is making its AI tools available to everyone for free while adding a high-end tier for power users who need advanced agents and more AI models.

What Changed:

• Added a "Free" tier for individual developers with 2,000 code completions and 50 chat requests per month.
• Introduced a "Pro+" plan at $39/month that includes access to more AI models and autonomous agents.
• Added "Agent mode" in the code editor to allow Copilot to propose edits and validate files automatically.
• Launched a new billing model for "Premium Requests" that allows people without a license to use Copilot code reviews on a pay-as-you-go basis.
• Updated the Trust Center with detailed sections on GDPR compliance and how personal data is handled within AI workflows.
