I wonder what the rationale for this was internally. More OpenAI issues? competitiveness with Cursor? It seems good for the user to increase competition across LLM providers.

Also ambiguous title. I thought GitHub canceled deals they had in the work. The article is clearly about making a deal, but it's unclear from the article's title.

Could be a fight against Llama, which excludes MS and Google in its open license (though I think has done separate pay deals with one or both of them). Meta are notably absent from this announcement.

I was at the keynote, Llama was featured in the Copilot models section and called out specifically, as was Mistral.

I assume they just aren't at the point where they have the ability or want to host the compute to offer up Llama as an option as opposed to OpenAI, Anthropic and Google who are all offering the model as a service.

Ah ok, I thought the deal was giving them access to Github data too without the anti scraping stuff. And had this article in mind: https://archive.ph/FvI9G

Try to fight the free good-enough haha. At least that’s the plan of Meta, who does not benefit as much selling this than using this

cursor is kicking vscode's butt because it has multi models. also MS is hedging bets against OpenAI. that relationship is not easy

Or, anti trust fears.

anti-trust gets a lot harder when ownership can't even be determined

Claude is good, openai shit?
