No. They handle that. You get so many credits that get used at different rates depending on the model.

You can burn through your months allowance in 10 minutes using Fable then your employer just gets billed the coverage. I think it’s based on the provider’s API pricing so just using Claude or codex directly is probably cheaper.

If you have it do the work entirely and make PRs itself then Copilot is listed as the author regardless of model. E.g. you can assign it an issue and it’ll go and do it itself. I don’t use that though because it’s bad at it.

I tend to just prompt it to write snippets as part as whatever I’m working on to save some typing.

Github copilot is a totally different product from Microsoft copilot. Github copilot is just a harness for any model. I can use openai, anthropic, google, etc. models.

I have at least 1 colleague who does this. Has a Claude subscription despite being provided with github copilot.

Unless it has local maps like mine that are now a decade out of date. It’s completely useless now but i refuse to pay several 100 for the update.

I took an existing thing and put it inside another existing thing. That’s a novel idea, right?

We could put card terminals in everything! Put card terminals in the fridge to pay for food?

I can’t think how this is any better than just using the card you already saved on the account. Even from their point of view, this is an extra step in the payment process.

That’s why all these microtransactions are in their own made-up currency.

My bank has the inverse as well. If i open the app while on a call there’s a huge banner across the top stating they are not calling me.

We get $100 a month and most never come close. Mostly use it for typing boiler plate and code reviews. It’s autocomplete to save some typing. It can’t replace your thinking or you’re going to have a bad time.

We make financial software handling millions of dollars a day. Accuracy is more important than speed. You’d think a bank would know that…
