Would love to see a side by side comparison of the completions from this with completions from Copilot

this is likely much worse, if copilot uses gpt3.5 turbo or gpt4. who knows though what they're actually using.

Copilot before today was based on GPT-3

How is this possible? They don't even use the same tokens, right? Whitespace is different IIRC.

I think the GPT-3 thing is wrong, but it is not impossible. You can always train an existing neural net to do new things right? Not sure how to handle different whitespace tokens.

the release today for copilot X says it's using gpt4 "With chat and terminal interfaces, support for pull requests, and early adoption of OpenAI’s GPT-4" ~ https://github.com/features/preview/copilot-x

I'm pretty sure that the actual Copilot auto completions are still on GPT3 for speed and cost reasons

Yes, wait list for access to copilotX

They only positively say that they are using GPT-4 for the new pull requests feature (and one other feature that I forgot). It’s unclear what model they are using for the main copilot code generation feature. It may be that they are only using GPT-4 for features that require the larger context size.
