• Is there a zero-retention option?

• A very sharp slap in the face of those of us who kept our annual plans and didn't ask for s refund: It seems it will not be available to annual subscriptions.
  by theanonymousone
• where does it say that? its not available to me (also annual) at the moment via cloud but it said it is rolling out gradually, so I'm not too concerned. Tho I'm not overly excited either given Copilot pricing now; I reckon this should be at most 1x.

• Unlike Google, the AI wave appears to deliver positive revenue impacts for Microsoft.

  The company does need to integrate the new AI-human-machine interface into its application development SDKs.

• Where is the inference running?

  They are run by Moonshot itself, so probably china

• On servers that are subject to the CLOUD Act. Expect no GDPR compliance.

• Azure. It was already available on the Azure AI Foundry before.

• Finally. Is this the first open weight LLM on Copilot? The gate is opened!
  by addozhang
• What's the credit cost compared to Gemini, Claude and GPT? As others have said, the last month price update killed copilot for good.

• When will GitHub Copilot support integrating custom models?
  by boundless88
• It has supported custom, local, any BYOM for quite a while.

  I work at GitHub but even then I often use OpenRouter models in the CLI and Copilot App

• AFAIK you can already use custom models in VSCode Copilot, but probably not for cloud workloads yet.
  by Klaster_1
• It does, but it's very poorly documented and quite unstable (on purpose i think). What the other commenter said about the VSCode BYOK seems to be the more reliable way.

  I tried adding a Foundry LLM as Github Copilot custom model and failed miserably. But with VSCode BYOK (and Github Copilot as the interfact) i did get it working, and i can now use Deepseek V4 Flash with Copilot.

• Copilot Chat supports BYOK since Oct 2025 for the VSCode plugin: https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2026/06/18/byok-vscode

• And why should one prefer GitHub Copilot over OpenCode? Worse harness, more expensive prices, unreliable product strategy, limited model support, the list goes on.

• Legacy corps on the Microsoft steamboat.
  by esafak
• You can select Copilot as provider in OpenCode.

  Copilot is used a safe liability layer for enterprises, not as an actual harness.

  At $OURCORP we are only allowed to use models available in Copilot. No problem to use them in OpenCode.

• all this talk, and the student pack's access to copilot (and i can imagine the free tier) is completely neutered.

  you still cannot choose any models nor have much credits to work with (200 per month, around 2 usd). this was luckily the nudge i really needed personally to get out of the vs code paradigm, and i am lowkey glad for it.

  overall, we have come full circle where vs code is using a model that one of its fork (cursor) has adapted as the core underlying model for its product.

• Much better value by using K2.7 Code with GitHub cli via opencode subscription - at $10/month gives you $60 worth of usage (for now) - you get $5 usage credits per day (with some weekly / monthly limits)

  ps opencode cli is quite nice too

• If you want to get an extra $5 off for the first month (I'll get $5 too) https://opencode.ai/go?ref=XDHX30HEFB

• Looks like it’s the same price on Fireworks AI?

  I don’t know much about them but they did a deal with Microsoft in March:

  Says that they are run by Moonshot

• When will DeepSeek be available?
  by impact_sy
• The V4 models are already in the Azure AI foundry so maybe a good chance of it coming.
  by pkaye
• Odd that AWS Bedrock has very poor support for such models. They only have Kimi 2.5, qwen 3 coder, DeepSeek V3.2, GLM 5. So none of the newer models.
  by jackbravo
• Wonder if this is a product decision or rather a limitation on GPUs. Their Inf2 instances require AWS Neuron [1]. Maybe porting models to run on their hardware takes too much time.

• For any small team wanting to try Copilot, heed my warning that you will waste hours navigating their billing settings using various out-of-date documentation. Long story short, I finally got an email from them saying that "Copilot Business is available for teams purchasing 10 or more licenses". This is undocumented but other people are reporting the same: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/199346

  We're sticking with Cursor for now, using Kimi as our daily driver (branded as "Composer").

• Who really cares? The model multipliers and the artificial currency were the final nail in the Github Copilot coffin.
