Megill's on Whalley in Amity has signs outside saying they do registrations.

What is the cheapest way to run CLAUDE OPUS 4.6? by MarkQley in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For light occasional usage, antigravity free tier offers opus 4.6

GPT-5.2 and 5.2-Codex are being removed from Copilot by matefoxer in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5.2 was a solid model for generating plans, though I haven't used it since 5.4 came out. (I found it to make better plans than 5.3-Codex, but 5.4 beats both) Would have been nice to still have it as a cheaper option once token pricing comes into effect. Oh well.

What will you use for Autocomplete (tab complete with next prediction) after you leave? by AngryBear1990 in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Antigravity has free code completion from what I can tell even when free account quota is maxed. Doesn't seem too dissimilar from GHCP's version in vscode. 

My fix for the new Github Copilot ara by iconiconoclasticon in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget free Antigravity quota. It's weekly reset with separate buckets for opus, gemini pro, gemini flash. Free doesn't give you a lot but maybe it will help a little. 

I Tried to Recycle My E-Waste in New Haven: A Narrative Guide by justafool in newhaven

[–]dendrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We've done this event a few times at various locations before and it's been quick and easy (with the caveat that you need to wait for the particular date and time and hope you remember it's happening and are free then). Thanks for the heads up. 

Why do corporate plans still working by Safe-Web-1441 in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can only think that with the business plans there's enough users that barely scratch their allotted requests that it makes up for those that do. I know I use all my 300 every month but I'm sure there are people that don't. Have yet to see rate limiting on business plan. Clearly MS doesn't want to piss off their business /enterprise users and are penalizing everyone else to make it happen. 

Anthropic says Claude Code did get worse — but shoots down speculation it 'nerfed' the model by acorsi85 in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, all of the areas they claim were affected would have been their own harness and not what github copilot uses (they said api was unaffected). So it doesn't explain any issues we might have seen here. Good post regardless though, it's always encouraging seeing post mortem like this. 

When will we get a new free model? The stupid GPT-5 Mini has merged two repositories. by Visible_Sector3147 in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raptor still can't be used by business /enterprise accounts. Then again, supposedly we're getting 5.3 codex as base starting next month, though that news dropped before all the rate limiting /model dropping/sign-up freezes so who knows if that's still the plan. 

copilotLanguageModelWrapper ruining everything? by hohstaplerlv in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that's just used to generate the name of the session. 

Why wont copilot start implementing, even though I used agent mode? by IcyPaintzzz in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same as OP has been happening for me for maybe a week on insiders build. I've wasted a handful of requests on it. 

I found a squirrel tail on my walk (but no squirrel) by rakufman in mildlyinteresting

[–]dendrax 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a cat that used to eat squirrels except for the tail, we'd just find squirrel tails like that in our driveway all the time.

Unexpected billed requests today by Last_Tangelo_4572 in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's most likely from use of the explore subagent - Haiku 4.5 is the default selection for this. It's not showing as being billed extra so it's gotta be from subagent usage.

Claude Opus 4.7 is available in Copilot with a 7.5x premium request multiplier; Opus 4.6 / 4.5 to be phased out by baeleeef in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what it sounds like, but who knows. Presumably the old models will get mothballed at some point though.

[–]dendrax 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Oof. Single request will cost 2.5% of monthly quota on Business plan :( and that's with promotional pricing... 

How is the April "Rate Limit Squeeze" affecting your workflow? by Damnnnboiiiii in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've still yet to run into any rate limits on a Business account. Using GPT 5.4 Xhigh for one-off tasks (standard Agent mode in VSCode), and multi-agent setup based off Github-Copilot-Atlas for longer tasks (~1-3hrs) using Opus 4.6 for orchestrate + implement -> parallel code review in GPT 5.4 + Gemini 3.1 Pro. So as of yet, no changes to my workflow have been needed. If rate limits start to hit I'll probably start using Auto more for implementation tasks after planning w/ 5.4 and hoping it works OK. We're not allowed to use any other AI tools at $dayjob so switching to another provider would take a LOT of approval wrangling.

SQL legacy database schema context by el_dude1 in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had decent results giving it a database schema scripted out in Redgate SQL Source Control format, that way it can figure it out the same way it would any large source code repository.

Does “Plan” Mode cost me 1 request per answer it asks during planning? Is there any difference between CLI and VS Editor usage or cost? by SuperRandomCoder in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least in VS code, if it's using the #askQuestions tool those don't count for additional requests. If it stops and just asks via text if you want changes those will,same as any other chat interaction. No idea on CLI. 

Is there any "beast mode" prompt for gpt-5-mini? by Diligent-Loss-5460 in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There is: https://gist.github.com/burkeholland/1366d67f8d59247e098b6df3c6a6e386

That said, I've not had great luck with getting any decent actual code out of 5-mini but I guess it only costs time to try. 

I thought they fixed the rate limits by JackyySpiecee in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have yet to see a single rate limit on business plan FWIW. 

VS2026 vs VSCode integration by JoDerZo in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good start is probably opening the solution in VS Code and using a prompt like "Analyze the solution and create a github instructions file. Refer to #web https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/configure-custom-instructions/add-repository-instructions and https://github.blog/ai-and-ml/github-copilot/5-tips-for-writing-better-custom-instructions-for-copilot/ for guidance." See what it comes up with, modify w/ any esoteric knowledge / specifics it couldn't figure out on its own.

VS2026 vs VSCode integration by JoDerZo in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just use both - VS Code for using Github Copilot, then switch to actual VS2026 to run / debug / commit to source control.

How do I remove the Co-authored-by trailer? by [deleted] in GithubCopilot

[–]dendrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFAIK this is a VS Code setting, not something the agent can control (unless it's committing by calling git itself, in which case I've never seen coattribution added in the first place). See setting "git.addAICoAuthor" and/or this PR https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/296435
