AI's Affordability Crisis

Our company went from “AI AI AI” to “GitHub Copilot has been suspended due to exceeding the budget” with this month’s price increase.

If your company was giving you Copilot, they were never that far on board the AI train anyway.

Github Copilot is a different product than the Windows / Office one. Horrible naming I know but it's basically just a UI and router to pick whatever model you want.

Microsoft names everything copilot anymore so everyone will continue to be confused

No, I know what it is. But it's not as good as Claude Code or Codex. Harnesses matter for coding agents, it's not just the model. There's a reason Microsoft had to make its developers stop using Claude Code, and it's because they all found that Copilot sucked in comparison.

Github Copilot lets you use Anthropic models. This is just a way for enterprises to fold this into their existing Microsoft contract instead of negotiating with a new vendor.
