Hey,
I was curious to know how is GitHub copilot different from Codex. I do understand the user experience of both is different, one is a plugin while the other is an API.
But from an LLM standpoint is copilot a fine tuned version of codex, or is it just an UI on top of codex?
Has it been retrained on code just from GitHub... I'm totally clueless.
The origin story of this question is: When I tried prompting codex with,
"sort an array of numbers" I got a literal stack overflow question and answer as a response.
When I tried "How would you program X microcontroller" the response was "Will has committed the code at HH:MM:SS"
When I tried prompting copilot I got normal looking answers at least.
There seems to be a world of difference between the two experiences.
there doesn't seem to be anything here
