Here's the system Prompt Template they use : https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-copilot-chat/blob/4c72d6...

Copilot in vs code is kind of lackluster and really missing the sort of polish you’d expect from a company like Microsoft

Quick, someone use AI to scan the codebase and explain the decision tree of Copilot Chat with regards how it handle prompts and responses.

I wont trust microsoft nor google until the end if universe.

I have a hard time getting excited about this when they have such an atrocious record of handling pull requests in VS Code already: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pulls

There are just two forms of code - public domain and private. It's just that some people don't see it yet.

Hi

microsoft now is ibm then

What is Copilot Chat but a front end to some Microsoft SaaS offering? There's nothing materially "open source" about that. All the important stuff is locked up behind the GitHub Copilot API. No one can customize the LLM design or training material. It certainly can't be self-hosted. This is just in-app advertising for yet another subscription service that sends your personal data to an amoral third party. There's no community, no public benefit, no commonwealth.
