GitHub Copilot

GitHub has updated Copilot CLI to support language server protocol (LSP) integration. The update replaces the tool's previous grep and decompile-based code analysis with structured language server support for improved code intelligence.

Microsoft has launched Scout, an AI assistant built on the OpenClaw framework that operates across Microsoft 365. The system requires a GitHub Copilot subscription and includes policy conformance checks with audit trails to address security concerns about autonomous AI agents.

Microsoft is ending GitHub Copilot's flat-rate subscription model in favor of token-based billing starting June 1. Some developers report monthly costs rising from approximately $29-50 to $750-3,000, while others claim the increases only affect inefficient "vibe-coders" who iterate excessively without clear direction.

GitHub is piloting an experimental AI agent designed to automate accessibility testing and remediation. The tool aims to help developers identify and fix accessibility issues in their code and user interfaces without requiring specialized expertise.

GitHub is restructuring its Copilot individual subscription tiers effective June 1, 2025. The company is introducing flexible model allotments to Pro and Pro+ plans and launching a new Max tier, responding to user feedback on plan structure.

IBM has launched Bob, its AI coding assistant, following internal testing with 80,000 employees. The company claims teams saw average productivity gains of 45% across complex workflows. Pricing ranges from $20 to $200 per month using a "Bobcoin" credit system.
