MS is great but I have been waiting for Copilot X for months and no invite. Wondering when they will release the upgrade, it's been a year since no big changes.
GitHub's 2023 vision bundle announcing Copilot Chat, Copilot for PRs, Copilot for Docs, Copilot for CLI, and voice, powered by OpenAI GPT-4.

I have spent the last couple of days playing with Copilot X Chat, to help me learn Ruby on Rails. I'd have thought that Rails would be something it would be competent with. My experience has been atrocious. It makes up gems and functions. Rails commands it gives are frequently incorrect. Trying to use it to debug issues results in it responding with the same incorrect answer repeatedly, often removing necessary lines.

Maybe Copilot-X will bring sufficient debugger information into the model to navigate a large codebase and iteratively work on it. I can't wait to graduate from one-shot next token prediction in VS Code. I want iterative and self correcting stuff.

https://github.com/github-copilot/chat_waitlist_signup/join I can't remember what the other platform options are, but for VSCode you need to use a preview version, which has meant I haven't had much time to test it yet as I'm full on with the stable release. But as an example I can select a block of code and ask it to generate tests, explain it or various other stuff. I haven't tried it further yet to see to what extent is provides value beyond just saving copying and pasting and establishing a context in ChatNormal. It's not clear either that it is 4 as you requested; it may be the default 3.5, I've had a very brief look but couldn't see the spec. Update, according to the Verge, its 4: https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/22/23651456/github-copilot-x

? Did you even read the thread? It's about Copilot X, not Copilot. I use Copilot in Intellij daily, and that's exact what I'm worrying about: once MS's AI tools get big enough, they won't be so friendly to third-party IDEs. It's not a stretch at all. Take a look at Copilot's homepage: https://github.com/features/copilot > Keep flying with your favorite editor Now, look at Copilot X's announcement: > We are bringing a chat interface to the editor that’s focused on developer scenarios and natively integrates with VS Code and Visual Studio > It recognizes what code a developer has typed, what error messages are shown, and it’s deeply embedded into the IDE. It reads like "we're going to make AI a competitive advantage of VS and VScode." Of course they have the right to do it, I'm just saying I hate it.
