...it gets better:

GitHub Copilot is a service, you can buy subscription from here https://github.com/features/copilot.

GitHub Copilot is available from website https://github.com/copilot together with services like Spark (not available from other places), Spaces, Agents etc.

GitHub Copilot is VSCode extension which you can download at https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.c... and use from VSCode.

New version has native "Claude Code" integration for Anthropic models served via GitHub Copilot.

You can also use your own ie. local llama.cpp based provider (if your github copilot subscription has it enabled / allows it at enterprise level).

Github Copilot CLI is available for download here https://github.com/features/copilot/cli and it's command line interface.

I'm currently using GitHub copilot via Zed and tbh I have no idea which of these this relates to. Perhaps a combination of

> GitHub Copilot is a service

and maybe, the api behind

> GitHub Copilot is VSCode extension

???

What an absolute mess.

Since we're talking about GitHub Copilot I'll lodge my biggest complaint about it here! The context window is stuck at 128k for all models (except maybe Codex): https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/264153 and https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/5993

This absolutely sucks, especially since tool calling uses tokens really really fast sometimes. Feels like a not-so-gentle nudge to using their 'official' tooling (read: vscode); even though there was a recent announcement about how GHCP works with opencode: https://github.blog/changelog/2026-01-16-github-copilot-now-...

No mention of it being severely gimped by the context limit in that press release, of course (tbf, why would they lol).

However, if you go back to aider, 128K tokens is a lot, same with web chat... not a total killer, but I wouldn't spend my money on that particular service with there being better options!

This is the first time I've read about this. Thank you. I never noticed because OpenCode just shows you the context window usage as a %.

I mean, it's definitely not perfect, but consider that Claude is a 200k window (unless you're a beta user with access to more), and it's not the tragedy that you're making it out to be.

My experience is that the models all lose focus long before they fill their context window, so I'm not crying over the lower limit.

You want a mess?

Put together a nice and clean price list for your friends in the purchasing department.

I dare you.

That's a feature, not a bug.

Might be a good time to start a Copilot Copilot company that manages all your copilots.
