That's like $10M monthly recurring revenue. Easily enough to pay for a 100 person team working on the product. Good job, I'd say.

I expect compute is a non-trivial amount of the cost, at least compared to salaries.

Unless of course you just get those 100 people to watch what people are typing and really quickly write their own suggestions.

Do things that don't scale!
Except it's reportedly run at heavy losses atm https://www.theregister.com/2023/10/11/github_ai_copilot_mic...
Nat Friedman doesn't seem to confirm that https://twitter.com/natfriedman/status/1712140497127342404
Yeah my guess is that $120 million revenue is likely breakeven at this point, probably being run over by salaries and even more compute / GPU / hardware costs to run this expensive LLM service.
