Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

We are very happy with Copilot's growing profits.

In the latest news, GitHub CEO Thomas Domke revealed in an interview with the media that Copilot has "become a money-making tool".

Domke even bluntly said that the cost of using Copilot is lower than the price GitHub charges.

Copilot is an AI programming assistant tool released by GitHub, which allows developers to ask code questions in the compiler, or even directly debug, which is very popular after release.

However, the popularity of the product does not mean to make money, in fact, there are not a few people who doubt whether GitHub is really profitable.

The Wall Street Journal has previously revealed that GitHub loses an average of $80 per user per month. GitHub denies this claim.

But officials did not give specific profit figures, but revealed some recent update plans.

In this regard, analyst Reed Albergotti said:

Every update released by GitHub leads to a surge in computing costs, but Copilot has never increased its price, indicating that GitHub has other ways to make money, otherwise these updates would not have been released so soon.

So what updates have been revealed by GitHub this time?

The official version of Copliot Chat will be launched next month, and the official version of Copilot Chat will be unveiled next month.

Copilot Chat was released in March this year, based on the original Copilot, developers can directly use natural language and Copilot dialogue to solve the problems encountered.

However, it was not until July that the public beta version was launched for corporate users, and the experiential version for individual users was not launched until September.

After the official version is launched, the price for individual users remains the same, still paying $10 a month or $100 a year.

For enterprise users, GitHub will also launch a new subscription scheme.

The main difference between this plan and the original enterprise version is that users can deploy the code to the cloud without having to clone it repeatedly locally.

Enterprise users can also build an internal knowledge base, form a personalized Copilot Chat, and even fine-tune the underlying model.

The subscription price for the new program is $39 a month and is expected to be launched in February next year.

GitHub also revealed that Copilot will also be introduced into GitHub mobile APP and add support for JetBrains series IDE in addition to Visual Studio and VSCode.

In the long term, GitHub said it will launch the Copilot Workspace working platform, which will "bridge natural language programming".

'Copilot Workspace is like having a programming conversation with a partner, 'says CEO Domke.

According to reports, Workspace will be launched "sometime" next year.

In addition, in Workspace, GitHub will launch a partner program and announce the first list of partners.

Third-party development tools companies will make plug-ins for Copilot and eventually form a Copilot ecosystem.

These are the latest news about Copilot revealed by GitHub. For more details, we might as well look forward to the official product release.
