GitHub launches a free version of its Copilot | TechCrunch
Briefly

"My first project [at GitHub] in 2018 was free private repositories, which we launched very early in 2019. Then we had kind of a v2 with free private organizations in 2020. We have free [GitHub] Actions entitlements... It felt natural, at some point, to get to the point where we also have a completely free Copilot, not just one that is for students and open source maintainers."
"Developers on the free plan will get access to 2,000 code completions per month... each Copilot code suggestion will count against this limit - not just accepted suggestions. And while GitHub recently added the ability to switch between different foundation models, users on the free plan are limited to Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet and OpenAI's GPT-4o."
