An extra $9/mo for:

* Simple license management

* Organization-wide policy management

* Industry-leading private

* Corporate proxy support

Wow. Who’s going to pay a 90% premium for these features?

Edit: OK seems like different marketing pages have different features. The list above comes from https://github.com/features/copilot/. Still seems like a very steep increase over the base. And I cannot believe there are only 400ish companies using copilot.

My prediction that they'd offer on-prem hosting of the models (for businesses with IP / secrecy concerns) turns out to be wrong! Seems like a weird choice, but maybe their hands are tied by OpenAI not wanting to lose control over the models?

Sadly, "simple license management" here just refers to "who in your organization has a license to use this tool", rather than "where did this code come from and what license is it under".

This tool remains the equivalent of money laundering for violation of Open Source licenses (or software licenses in general).

I think the privacy part would be a big part for some organizations, even if I do not know what this really means or what this implies for the other plans.

9 bucks per developer isn’t that much. I getting a developer to be 5 percent faster is a huge gain for just 9 dollars.

More likely their hands are tied by not many businesses wanting to pay for a DGX A100 to run the models!
