  Microsoft just open sourced Copilot and Windows Subsystem for Linux under the MIT license. Huge day for OSS.

• @bitcrazed Rich Turner on x

  OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! THIS IS HUUUUGE!!! 🎉🥳 I've been wanting WSL to be open-sourced ever since we first launched it back in 2016!! HUGE thanks and congratulations to @craigaloewen, @benhillis & the entire WSL team on open-sourcing this amazing technology!!

  Major news: Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is now fully open source! I'm looking forward to rebuilding all the components from source to see if I can fix some of the problems I've been having with networking 💪

  As always the problem with AI is that having it work the way anyone wants requires lots of other things to happen that won't simply just happen

  It is absolutely obscenely bad interviewing to ask a *265 word question* but on top of that - THIS IS NOT WHAT AGENTS DO!  They can't even order sandwiches!  How is this on The Verge??  —  www.theverge.com/decoder-podc...  [image]

  Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott compares MCP to HTTP

• @danshipper Dan Shipper on x

  Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott says the best startups shouldn't care about marginal costs of AI. The cost of AI is reducing 10x every year—anything that seems too expensive today is going to be too cheap to meter in a few years.

  Big step forward: GitHub Copilot Chat is going open source under MIT.  —  The Copilot Chat extension is being broken into core AI features that will live inside VS Code.  —  More transparency.  More contributions.  A real open source AI editor.  —  Open dev > closed dev. …

• @danwahlin Dan Wahlin on bluesky

  Super excited that the GitHub Copilot Chat extension in VS Code is going open-source!  🎉  —  ✅ Inspect & contribute to the AI experience in VS Code  —  ✅ Full support for other AI providers  —  ✅ Build your own custom chat-based AI extensions  —  Learn more 👇 …

  1. Coding agent: We are taking GitHub Copilot from being a pair programmer to peer programmer.  You now have a full coding agent built right into GitHub.  You can assign it issues - whether it's bug fixes, new features, or ongoing code maintenance.  And it will complete these tas…

  A Copilot that does more than suggest code? Meet the new GitHub Copilot coding agent, now in preview for Enterprise + Pro+ users. https://github.blog/... [image]

• @rakyll Jaana Dogan on x

  Awesome to hear that VSCode is open sourcing GitHub Copilot and the AI assistance capabilities, and moving towards becoming a fully AI native editing platform. VSCode's openness made it possible to drive many standards and build a large ecosystem. They can repeat it with AI.

• @ashtom Thomas Dohmke on x

  When you assign one or more issues to Copilot, it responds with a 👀 reaction and spins up a secure sandbox using GitHub Actions.  It clones the repo, configures the environment, and analyzes the codebase with RAG powered by GitHub code search.  The coding agent can use local tool…

• @kyliebytes Kylie Robison on x

  oooo interesting - github just open sourced copilot (as its forced to fiercely compete with cursor + windsurf)

• @ashtom Thomas Dohmke on x

  GitHub's control layer is the secret sauce to AI agents. copilot coding agent has all the protections you expect: branch controls, controlled internet, session logs, etc. we're making same protections avail to partners too. the home of developers will be the home of agents.

• @mattpocockuk Matt Pocock on x

  GitHub Coding Agent announced, built on GitHub actions and deeply integrated with the GitHub UI. Here's the process: - Create a detailed issue - Assign the issue to Copilot - Get a PR with the code changes - Review the code in GitHub UI, request changes etc - Profit [image]

• @amandaksilver Amanda Silver on x

  Assign a GitHub issue to Copilot and watch it spin up a secure dev environment, write code, push commits, and open a PR. Copilot has gone from peer programmer to pair programmer , handling the boring stuff so you can stay in the flow. #GitHubCopilot #codingagent #MSBuild

• @jlengstorf Jason Lengstorf on x

  the @github Copilot AI extension for @code is going open source — I like seeing a push toward keeping this work out in the open

• @ashtom Thomas Dohmke on x

  GitHub Copilot now has a coding agent embedded right where you already collaborate with developers: on GitHub. And yes, you can access it from VS Code too. 🤖 [video]

  While @sama isn't here, he's virtually talking about Codex and GitHub Agent! GitHub agent seems to be powered by Codex [image]

  With GitHub Copilot becoming open source, it's clear that the future of chat-driven app generation, aka vibe coding, will also be open source. [image]

• @anuraggoel Anurag Goel on x

  Microsoft's point about “secret sauce” prompting going away is hugely important. I'd be worried if I were one of the 50+ vibe coding platforms out there. What's the new secret sauce if everyone's using Claude under the hood?

  The agentic web is reshaping the entire tech stack, and we are creating new opportunity for devs at every layer. [video]

• @amandaksilver Amanda Silver on x

  More big news: We're going to open source the GitHub Copilot extension then refactor it into VS Code core. AI-powered tools are core to how we write code. Working in the open leads to better products and stronger ecosystems. We want #VSCode to be the best open source AI editor

• @satyanadella Satya Nadella on x

  Today, at Build we showed you how we are building the open agentic web. It is reshaping every layer of the stack, and our goal is to help every dev build apps and agents that empower people and orgs everywhere. Here are 5 big things we announced today:

• @stolinski Scott Tolinski on x

  Microsoft just open sourced Copilot! Check out our exclusive interview with Erich Gamma, creator of VS Code, and Kai Maetzel, Copilot Lead to get all of the details! https://www.youtube.com/...

• @satyanadella Satya Nadella on x

  Thanks for joining us at Build, @sama! Enjoyed our conversation about SWE agents and how the role of developers is evolving. [video]

• @mattpocockuk Matt Pocock on x

  This seems fucking sick. It sidesteps some of VSCode Copilot's current weaknesses - speed. Running multiple Copilot calls in parallel seems great. And linking it deeply into the GitHub UI will feel extremely natural. Seems like a beautiful integration to me.

• @code @code on x

  Open sourcing the @github Copilot Chat extension was the logical next step for @code. Check out the podcast for more of the history, straight from Erich Gamma and Kai Maetzel!

• @kdaigle Kyle Daigle on x

  The GitHub Copilot extension is getting open sourced, with an MIT license, and we can keep building useful, powerful AI together and learn from each other. Feels good man.

• @satyanadella Satya Nadella on x

  2. Copilot Tuning: Copilot can now learn your company's unique tone and language. It is all about taking that expertise you have as a firm and further amplifying it so everyone has access. [image]

• @code @code on x

  Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor. We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together. https://aka.ms/... [image]
