Sadly, "simple license management" here just refers to "who in your organization has a license to use this tool", rather than "where did this code come from and what license is it under".<p>This tool remains the equivalent of money laundering for violation of Open Source licenses (or software licenses in general).
if you want an actual enterprise solution with in-customer-tenant/on-prem hosting, check out Codeium (<a href="https://www.codeium.com/enterprise" rel="nofollow">https://www.codeium.com/enterprise</a>)<p>disclaimer: i'm from the Codeium team. but really, we will even ship you a physical box if that level of data security is important to you
An extra $9/mo for:<p>* Simple license management<p>* Organization-wide policy management<p>* Industry-leading private<p>* Corporate proxy support<p>Wow. Who’s going to pay a 90% premium for these features?<p>Edit: OK seems like different marketing pages have different features. The list above comes from <a href="https://github.com/features/copilot/">https://github.com/features/copilot/</a>. Still seems like a very steep increase over the base. And I cannot believe there are <i>only</i> 400ish companies using copilot.
My prediction that they'd offer on-prem hosting of the models (for businesses with IP / secrecy concerns) turns out to be wrong! Seems like a weird choice, but maybe their hands are tied by OpenAI not wanting to lose control over the models?
So the code suggestion comes from the same data trained for the public version, which could include GPL code or have other issues?<p>I doubt any company would use this in their production code. Internal tools, maybe.
So is the new Codex model not available for individuals? That's what they seem to imply in the blog announcement but thats not a difference they highlight on their landing page between the two plans.
What's the benefit of using copilot over a package manager? Both help you reuse code that's already been written, but using packages gives you updates, explicit dependency tracking, documentation, etc.
Currently using codeium after they had an HN post not so long ago. Seems not too bad, though for C# its code generation is pretty poor, though apparently there is supposed to be improvements to the model soon.
There was Kite also that was shutdown. Microsoft can maybe keep it as a vanity product but seriously - I'm curious what kind of teams pr developers are using CoPilot and how much more productive you feel?
I’m curious if enterprise customers would have license concerns about the code produced from using this.<p>Have any big companies set policies on employees using these kind of tools? Do they allow them?
Yeah I'll pay for something that is just slightly better/faster than writing it myself but will practically speaking steal my code and give it to others that pay for the same product. /s<p>I'd say no thanks. I think programmers using Copilot is paying for something that'll hurt them in the long run for a tiny benefit in the short run.<p>I don't trust Microsoft, and neither should you.
