It really seems like the cheap inference is coming to a head very quickly.
Demand is increasing exponentially but supply is increasing linearly. NIMBYs inventing datacenter lies about sucking up water or noise is going to drive prices through the roof.

Bingo. Github Copilot is mostly for organizations that have an existing Azure bill and would rather see that go up then get a new vendor bill. Professional middlemen.

What reasonable interpretation of the sentence is there if "then" is applied literally? I can only find validity using "than", and therefore the use of "then" doesn't matter as the author's intent isn't lost. That said, carrying the assumption that it does matter forward, how are you certain "then" isn't the correct interpretation of the author's intent?

This is the kind of argument you should take to your 3rd grade teacher.
I really dislike these AI middleman plans. The value-add that Microsoft brings to Github Copilot is near zero compared to directly buying from Anthropic or OpenAI, where 99% of the value is being delivered from. I don't understand why anyone would want to deal with Microsoft as a vendor if they don't have to. The short period of discounted usage was always the obvious rug pull.
Now, it may be the right call to immediately give up and shutdown after Opus 4.5, but models and subscriptions are in flux right now, so the right call is not at all obvious to me.
The agentic AI models could be commoditized, some model may excel in one area of SWE, while others are good for another area, local models may be at least good enough for 80%, and cloud usage could fall to 20%, etc. etc.
Staying in the market and providing multi-model and harness options (Claude and Codex usable in Copilot) is good for the market, even if you don't use it.

I've been happy with GLM 5.1
Which service provides this one for a decent cost ?

Someone else in another thread mentioned OpenCode, which looks neat at £10/mo: https://opencode.ai/go
Oh nuts, I forgot I was on Copilot. I used to use it for auto-complete and so on. I haven't used it in over a year and I'm still paying for it. If you're like me you'll find it here: https://github.com/settings/billing/licensing And you can then cancel it. I have no idea what a premium request is and it's all just too complicated to use.
Copilot (before today) had one of the simplest & cheapest pricing on the market.
I cannot describe how disappointing it is to be switching to this insane time limit window based pricing. I absolutely abhor that I'll be subjected to 5 hour chunks of time where I'll be limited at some point in that window of time, and be told I'll have to wait. And then there is a weekly limit. That's not how my creative energy works. I have time that I want to solve problems, and I want to solve them. I don't want…
Think GitHub will do that eventually, just like everyone else is. TFA ends with:
The actions we are taking today enable us to provide the best possible experience for existing users while we develop a more sustainable solution.
