  My prediction is that GitHub will move to usage based billing for all source control operations by the end of 2026. Copilot is just them trialing the billing infrastructure and market response.

  I will totally need to reevaluate how I work with AI now But this makes a lot of sense, it is not really sustainable to manage economics when some people consume millions of tokens per single premium token Nevertheless it's hard to grok for anyone who got used to taking

  Starting June 1st, GitHub Copilot will move to a usage-based billing model as GitHub Copilot supports more agentic and advanced workflows. In early May, you'll see a preview bill experience, giving visibility into projected costs before the transition. 👉 Read more about the

  Copilot is going credit-based June 1. Pay per token, just like the API. Anyone reselling someone else's model was always going to end up here. You can't subsidize inference forever when you don't own the model. This is why local LLMs matter. Not because they're frontier — they're…

  People love to say AI/LLMs are “here to stay” but they never really ever explain what that means.  Like of course the tech will always exist but LLMs are largely expensive to run.  What will AI look like when it's no longer subsidized? [embedded post]

• @marypcbuk Mary Branscombe on bluesky

  GitHub Copilot is no longer absorbing as much of the cost of inference (inference got cheaper but you're doing more of it though not sure that's a Jevons quite yet) and I am absolutely wondering about the timing of this and the OpenAI divorce (although GitHub Copilot uses multipl…
