The CEO of GitHub, Thomas Dohmke, revealed that many teams already keep their documentation in GitHub repositories, making it easy for Copilot to reason over it. He also mentioned that the Bing integration would be useful for asking Copilot about things that may have changed since the model was originally trained. Fine-tuning, a feature that will allow companies to pick a set of repositories in their GitHub organization and fine-tune the model on those repositories, is set to launch soon.
Key takeaways:
- GitHub has launched Copilot Enterprise, a $39/month version of its code completion tool and developer-centric chatbot for large businesses, which includes features like IP indemnity and the ability to reference an organization’s internal code and knowledge base.
- Copilot is now integrated with Microsoft’s Bing search engine and will soon allow users to fine-tune Copilot’s models based on a team’s existing codebase.
- One feature that will likely remain exclusive to the enterprise version is fine-tuning, which lets companies pick a set of repositories in their GitHub organization and fine-tune the model on those repositories.
- GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke hinted at the future of Copilot, stating that the focus will be on integrating Copilot into more places where developers already work, rather than creating new destinations.
