GitHub, owned by Microsoft, has launched a free version of its AI-powered code completion tool, GitHub Copilot, which is now integrated by default into the VS Code editor. This move expands access to the tool, previously available for a monthly fee of $10, to all developers. The free tier offers 2,000 code completions and 50 chat messages per month, utilizing models such as Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet and OpenAI's GPT-4o. This launch coincides with GitHub reaching a milestone of 150 million developers on its platform. The free version aims to cater to occasional users, while students, educators, and open source maintainers continue to have access to unlimited Copilot Pro accounts.
