GitHub's recent update to Copilot, aligned with Microsoft's 50th anniversary, introduces Agent Mode, transitioning Copilot into a proactive development partner. This mode offers developers the ability to create code independently, streamline tasks across multiple files, and address complex infrastructure challenges, boasting a 56% success rate on SWE-bench. Additionally, multi-model support expands flexibility for DevOps teams with various AI models available under new premium plans, including a unique Model Context Protocol to enhance integration across systems, empowering developers to optimize their workflows further.
Agent Mode is the most revolutionary aspect of this update, fundamentally changing how developers interact with their tools. Unlike traditional chat or multi-file edits, Agent Mode can independently translate ideas into code.
GitHub has also introduced multi-model support, making Anthropic Claude 3.5, 3.7 Sonnet, Google Gemini 2.0 Flash and OpenAI models generally available through a new premium request system.
