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 move targets both new developers and large teams who want more AI model choices.

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/month featuring access to Claude Opus and GitHub Spark.
  • Updated the "Pro" plan to include a coding agent and unlimited completions.
  • Added a model picker allowing users to choose between LLMs from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI.
  • Expanded the FAQ section to explain how the AI generates code without direct "copy-pasting."
