- Github obtains a new agent mode and a model context protocol
- Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Gemini 2.0 Flash and GPT-4O are generally available
- To use more than your allowance, you will need a subscription plan at $ 39 / month
Github has announced a series of major AI tools upgrades for the popular developer platform to allow programmers to make the most of the productivity development technology.
In a business blog article, CEO Thomas Dohmke revealed the new Github Copilot Pro +plan, at a price of $ 39 per month and with access to up to 1,500 premium requests each month.
More broadly, Dohmke has also confirmed the general availability of anthropic, Google and Openai models, such as Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Gemini 2.0 Flash and GPT-4O, giving developers even more options and control.
Github obtains the latest IA advances
Dohmke has announced the availability of the agent mode for all users of the Visual Studio code, which allows Copilot to take measures on files and tools according to the objectives that a user defines. He can suggest terminal commands, manage errors with self-healing and even complete complex coding tasks with a higher degree of autonomy.
The model context protocol (MCP), now in public overview, adds awareness of the context of agent mode by activating integration with local and distant tools.
To take advantage of the new tools, Github has launched premium model requests in addition to unlimited agent fashion, cat-based cat requests and code supplements in all paid plans for our basic model (currently GPT-4O).
Detailed Dohmke: “Copilot Pro customers will receive 300 monthly premium requests, from May 5, 2025. Customers with Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise will receive 300 and 1000 premium requests respectively, from May 12 and May 19, 2025. Until this time, the use of these premium models is unlimited.”
Finally, the leader of Github wanted the parent company of the platform, Microsoft, a happy 50th anniversary: ”Together, Github and Microsoft have the fully intention of allowing a world of 1 billion developers,” he added.
