Summary:
GitHub Copilot launches new Free and Pro+ tiers
Why It Matters:
GitHub is making its AI tools available to everyone for free while adding a high-end plan for power users. This changes how developers access AI coding help and sets new price points for the market.
What Changed:
- Added a "Free" plan that gives users 50 chat requests and 2,000 code completions per month.
- Introduced a "Pro+" plan at $39 per month that includes access to more powerful models like Claude Opus.
- Updated the product page to focus entirely on Copilot instead of general GitHub features.
- Added a "Command your craft" section highlighting multi-model support from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.
- Expanded the FAQ section to address intellectual property, data training, and plan differences.
