GitHub Copilot

From April 24 onward, interaction data—specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context—from Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ users will be used to train and improve our AI models unless they opt out.

Select the "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training" dropdown menu and click Disabled.

GitHub does not use Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise customer data to train AI models. Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers' data is protected under GitHub's Data Protection Agreement, which prohibits such use without customer authorization.

GitHub will not use Inputs or Outputs to train generative AI models, unless you have given us documented instructions to do so.

Researcher Omer Mayraz of Legit Security disclosed a critical vulnerability, dubbed CamoLeak, that could be used to trick Copilot Chat into exfiltrating secrets, private source code, and even descriptions of unpublished vulnerabilities from repositories. The flaw was scored 9.6 on the CVSS scale in the disclosure.

Early community estimates: $600–1,200 per developer per month, up from $39 per user.

If you previously opted out of the setting allowing GitHub to collect this data for product improvements, your preference has been retained—your choice is preserved, and your data will not be used for training unless you opt in.

The district court's dismissal of DMCA claims is currently on appeal before the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit held oral argument on February 11, 2026.

Copilot code referencing compares potential code suggestions and the surrounding code of about 150 characters against an index of all public repositories on GitHub.com.

Uses Copilot Chat extensively — 30–40 sessions daily on Claude Sonnet 4.6 for complex reasoning tasks. Estimated monthly chat cost: $150–250 on top of the $39 Pro+ subscription.

Previously, heavy usage was bounded by the flat monthly fee. Now there is no ceiling unless you explicitly set a spending limit in the billing dashboard — and by default, GitHub only sends a notification when a limit is reached rather than stopping usage. You must manually enable "Stop usage when budget limit is reached" to create a hard cap.

GitHub Copilot provides inline AI code completions and chat assistant across popular IDEs.

The problem is the loss of the safety net and the surprise of discovering that frontier-model agentic work is substantially more expensive than a $39/month flat fee implied.

Pro plan $10 per month

Cheapest option on the market; inline autocomplete saves hours of typing boilerplate code.

While this case is touted as the first class action copyright case against an LLM provider, it has never included any claims of direct or indirect copyright infringement.

One thing to know about this though is that it tends to lead to over-engineered solutions. AIs really like to make things complicated and more complicated than need to be.

I logged three different bug reports, so don't be surprised if you come across bugs, but do report them because the team is really eager to fix them and make the app better.

This has often led to the agent working for an hour or more at a time on its own, saving me the time to having to review code that is not ready yet.

Copilot has /fleet, which is honestly amazing. It breaks your task into parallel sub-agents, and here's the kicker. Each sub-agent can use a different model.
