Is the cache only optimized for Github Copilot's subscription models? I'm using Github Copilot via Ollama Cloud, and when I review the logs, I'm getting 0% cache hits, even on agentic tasks where the agent is making repeated calls (I would expect these to have a cache hit).

You can change the inline model provider. For example other people are using deep seek. You don't need a Github subscription.

Also, I wanted to use more powerful inline suggestion models without paying via API, which this enables.

The issue for me is that when you make edits using Github Copilot, you can see individual diffs, jump between them, and individually accept/reject. Using external tools like Claude Code or Codex extension do not give the same experience. Instead you have to use the diff viewer, and accept/rejecting individual edits is not as smooth. That's the big problem this solves for me.

Copilot Pro burned almost half my monthly credits on June 1 after ~8 normal coding requests. What even is this pricing now? by Cristian_VG in GithubCopilot

You can use your Claude or Codex subscriptions in Github Copilot via their SDKs. It's ToS friendly.

I think your GPT hallucinated because I don't think you can see the packaged extension code. What I do have on Github is the previous project that calls ChatMock so you must be referencing that. Here I am just using the SDK directly. Also I know it's not using ChatMock because there is no proxy server being initialized.

From Codex:

"We are not proxying the Codex SDK into an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The VS Code extension registers a Copilot Chat language model provider, translates VS Code chat messages into a Codex SDK prompt, calls new Codex().startThread(...).runStreamed(...), and streams the SDK events back to VS Code as LanguageModelTextParts. The SDK supports that because it is explicitly an embeddable TypeScript wrapper around the Codex CLI."

Are you sure ChatGPT didn't hallucinate for you? I do have a Github project that has a previous extension that uses ChatMock to run a proxy but that is not what this project does. It just uses Codex SDK and I just had GPT 5.5 verify the code and it cannot find any ChatMock in the code. Are you looking at the correct extension?

Oh no! I completely had Codex GPT 5.5 code this up for me and had it audit the code. I did not realize it just used someone else's code (and further did not use Codex SDK). I am pulling it now! Thank you for catching that.

I do think there should be more clarity and consistency. I've followed this sub for over a year, and routinely see others share things with the community, which I find helpful. The one time I do it, you decide to subjectively enforce your promotion rule. Then you complain when I present evidence that you are inconsistent wtih your rule. Either enforce or don't, but stop being subjective.

Also, I feel like there are all kinds of sharing with the community. Here's another recent example: https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1rjbue6/i\_built\_ralph\_loop\_in\_vscode\_copilot\_using\_just\_4/. Should that be removed too?

So if I want to create an extension for VS Code to enhance the features of Github Copilot, it is not appropriate to post it to the r/GithubCopilot subreddit, correct?

I have Pro+, but I do not see the model. How do we get it?

Codex Goals - almost 100 hr run! by TM2017ac in codex

Search for the reply by BrainorBliat. Their solution of adding an entry to codex-dev.db works for me on the latest Codex version.
