@github All private repos, sorry. But used Copilot for a month to create my wedding website. Switched to Claud after the crippling price changes by GitHub CoPilot.

@github This is clearly a PR stunt, and I’m not talking about a Pull Request.

We benchmarked the GitHub Copilot agentic harness against the harnesses that ship leading models natively.
Holding the model and task fixed across SWE-bench Verified, SWE-bench Pro, SkillsBench, TerminalBench, and Win-Hill, the results were clear:
✅ Task resolution on par with model-vendor harnesses
✅ Fewer tokens across most configurations
💡 A key learning: With GitHub Copilot supporting more than 20 models, you're free to pick efficiency or peak quality per task.

@ArtificialAnlys Why was Grok conveniently omitted from the rankings?

Microsoft's MAI-Image-2.5 ranks #2 in Text to Image and #3 in Image Editing in the Artificial Analysis Image Arena, behind only OpenAI's image models
The latest addition to the MAI Image family is capable of handling both text to image generation and image editing, up to a maximum output resolution of roughly 1MP at flexible aspect ratios with a 32K token context.
MAI-Image-2.5 is one of the strongest image models we have tested, ranking #2 in Text to Image behind only OpenAI's GPT Image 2. Its Image Editing capabilities rank at #3 on our leaderboard, ranking just behind OpenAI’s image models, with performance comparable to Google’s Nano Banana 2.
MAI-Image-2.5-Flash, the faster, lower-cost variant, lands at #8 in Text to Image and #6 in Image Editing.
MAI-Image-2.5 is priced at $48 per 1k images and MAI-Image-2.5-Flash at $20 per 1k images on the Foundry API. Both are also available in the MAI Playground, and MAI-Image-2.5 is available to users in PowerPoint and OneDrive.
Congratulations to @MicrosoftAI on the release!
See below for comparisons between MAI-Image-2.5 and other leading models in the Artificial Analysis Image Arena 🧵

Completely agree. It’s like VIM vs IDE wars all over again .
It kinda feels like terminal Claude Code have never used used a terminal before and now Claude Code has made it cool.
Sure Claude Desktop has more clicks, but you’re waiting 10 to 20 minutes for your loops to complete, what are a few keystroke driven ClI commands going to benefit?
Each to their own.
I just feel 💯 more productive in the Desktop version with live html mockups of my design plan rather than ascii representations of my plan.

@MuwaffaqBadawi Microsoft killed off Visual Studio for Mac. We don’t have another IDE choice, Fortunately it’s free, so we have a choice now. VS Code for quick edits, Rider for large projects. Thanks Microsoft for pushing me to Rider, it’s way superior.

@MatthewBerman I guess if you own AI you can call it what you like .

@acadictive How does Satya, in his keynote speech at MS Build 2026, expect devs and corporates to adopt Agentic Coding with this retarded pricing?
It’s a non-starter and dead on arrival.
English

@nickchapsas Cancelled mine, cut out the very expensive middleman. You can’t do anything meaningful with CoPilot at the current pricing.
It’s honestly a breath of fresh air using Claude Opus directly.
English

@m_sturdevant @Copilot Satya has alot of explaining to do in his keynote today at MS Build. Great timing.
English

Disappointed in the recent @Copilot billing changes. In May, a full day of usage took 3% of my monthly credits. Today, working for just one hour on a single issue consumed 8%. The value is no longer there under this new model. Canceling my subscription.
English

@RobertDMellish Keynote: “we’re so excited, we can’t wait to see what you’re going to build with CoPilot and Azure”
English

@BrianRoemmele It might be time to ask Satya to step down so that someone with more vision and less slop can step in.
English

@dotMorten But it’s not cross platform. So it’s a non starter.

Breaking news: There's a new way to create #WinUI desktop apps without xaml using declarative, component-based C# framework! Check out the repo: github.com/microsoft/micr…

@mjovanovictech 5 days when people realize Microsoft were always just the middleman taking a cut of people’s usage of other people’s models.
Why don’t we see any of Microsoft’s models in there? (Rhetorical question)

@burkeholland @github You could have tagged @claudeai or Anthropic to give where credit is due, or did GitHub Copilot have a part in this beautiful calculator other than being a middle man? Serious question . 🤨

I fed this tweet to @GitHub Copilot verbatim and Opus 4.6 said...

@cptdankkk What a chop. Meanwhile, under Tim Cook’s leadership, Apple Invented the groundbreaking Apple Silicon M chip, breaking their dependency on Intel. Today the M chips are so in demand because of their power to output ratio and no other chip in the world comes close to it. Apple Pay?

Mark Zuckerberg says Apple's lack of innovation since the iPhone will lead to its decline
"They haven't really invented anything great in a while. Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, and now they're kind of sitting on it 20 years later"
"Year over year, I'm not even sure they're selling more iPhones at this point. Part of it is that each generation doesn't actually get that much better, so people are taking longer to upgrade"
"They built stuff like AirPods, which are cool, but they've thoroughly hamstrung the ability for anyone else to build something that can connect to the iPhone"
"I'm pretty optimistic that because they've been so off their game in terms of not really releasing many innovative things... eventually they'll get beat by someone"

@BrianRoemmele Meanwhile GitHub Copilot has NO models of its own. It’s a middle man. GitHub CoPilot offers Claude models at 27x town cost multiplier from June. How is this more cost efficient for people NOT working at Microsoft?
English

MICROSOFT CANCELED CLAUDE CODE!
IT COST TOO MUCH.
Major tech companies are confronting the steep reality of AI inference costs as the era of heavy subsidies appears to be ending.
Microsoft is canceling most internal licenses for Anthropic’s popular Claude Code tool by June 30, 2026 less than six months after rolling it out broadly to engineers primarily due to escalating token-based expenses, while shifting teams toward its own GitHub Copilot CLI.
This mirrors broader pressures: Uber’s CTO revealed the company had already exhausted its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months thanks to heavy Claude usage among thousands of engineers (with individual monthly costs often hitting $500–$2,000), and GitHub is transitioning Copilot to usage-based billing with higher per-token rates starting June 1st.
The reality is good enough AI will expand and constantly get better removing the oxygen of the most expensive.
