Is github copilot using GPT-4 or 3.5? I've tried to find out for sure but I can't seem to find the information anywhere

I think 3.5, that was the last official note.

Copilot Chat uses 4, but it's suspiciously free of confirmation that is also used in the more contextual Copilot (no-chat).

GitHub Copilot uses OpenAI Codex, which is a much older model fined-tuned on GPT-3.

Definitely not GPT-4, otherwise it would not be less than $10 a month for constant usage.

The chat part (mostly) uses GPT-4, you can also see which model is called in the request logs. Here is the official announcement: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-11-30-github-copilot-nove...
Okay thanks for pointing that out.

I figure if they do this, they have to throttle or nert it somehow since it is cheaper than ChatGPT Plus which also gives access to GPT-4.

It won’t answer questions that are not somehow related to code or computing, I usually don’t need anything else so I didn’t really test the limits of that so far.
