GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer developed by GitHub and OpenAI to helps users by autocompleting code.[1][2] GitHub Copilot draws context from comments and code, and suggests individual lines and whole functions.[2] GitHub Copilot is powered by OpenAI Codex, an AI system created by OpenAI.[2] The GitHub Copilot technical preview is available as an extension for Visual Studio Code, Neovim, and the JetBrains suite of IDEs.[2] It was first announced by GitHub on 29 June 2021.[3]
Technology
GitHub Copilot is powered by a distinct production version of Codex, a GPT language model finetuned on publicly available code from GitHub, and study its Python code-writing capabilities.[4] Copilot is trained on public GitHub repositories of any license.[3]
Origin
This project is a result of Microsoft’s $1 billion investment into OpenAI, the research firm now led by Y Combinator president Sam Altman.[1]
