GitHub Copilot Labs is a tool run by the GitHub Next team, the R&D team of GitHub, to figure out new paths and methods to enable developers to benefit from Copilot in a new way.

Check Github Next [0], much more AI to come. All the broad features working together, while delighting users, create ever more vendor lock-in. Github is allowed to become this huge one-stop-shop online development platform. With increasing platform dominance, the enshittification inevitably follows.

GitHub Next

A few notable examples of these leaps in AI technology include GPT-3.5, GPT-4, ChatGPT, Midjourney, Dall-e 2, AutoGPT, and Github Next.

You can keep an eye on GitHub Next to see what they're currently working at and sign in for the waitlists.

The GitHub Next (their Skunkworks) page has a card for this under 'GitHub Copilot for your codebase'. It's currently WIP.

FYI, after digging down a few links from there and winding up at the GitHub Next org page[1], seeing the verified email [email protected] and the official site link to https://githubnext.com was enough validation for me.

Can't wait for Voice Copilot :)

As an industry, we’re learning to prioritize accessibility for the user. But, what about the developer? The GitHub Next team is making coding more accessible for developers of all backgrounds with the following experimental features:

Hey GitHub is part of GitHub Next, and if you don't know what it is let me quote their website:

CodeGen (I included this model as there's some evidence in recent months that LLMs trained on code-related tasks better capture long-range dependencies compared to LLMs trained on 'just words')

https://github.com/salesforce/CodeGen these are used in fauxpilot https://github.com/fauxpilot/fauxpilot

You can always use https://github.com/salesforce/CodeGen . But it does require managing the model hosting. You can use fauxpilot to mimic copilot functionality https://github.com/fauxpilot/fauxpilot

freediver 2 days ago | prev | next [–] Here is an example of one general purpose open source LLM, probably the best you can get: https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox To manage your expectations it is nowhere as good as ChatGPT. If you are interested in programming only: https://github.com/salesforce/CodeGen

Replit built Ghostwriter on the open source scene based on Salesforce’s Codegen, using Nvidia’s FasterTransformer and Triton server for highly optimized decoders, and the knowledge distillation process of the CodeGen model from two billion parameters to a faster model of one billion parameters.
