Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft (www.theverge.com)

Software engineers at Microsoft are now expected to use both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot and give feedback comparing the two, I’m told. Microsoft sells GitHub Copilot as its AI coding tool of choice to its customers, but if these broad internal pilot programs are successful, then it’s possible the company could even eventually sell Claude Code directly to its cloud customers.

Guys? Are we going to have to rename Microsoft products from Copilot to Claude soon?

Microsoft Claude 365?

My girlfriend is forced to use only Copilot at her work, and its just completely useless. She frequently posts me failed tasks it couldnt do. :).

For copilot in visual studio at least you can select between models it will use, depending on the org setup showing them.

I don't see how "worst of all of them" applies when it's an umbrella of other models.

Maybe we're all taking about different copilots. There's multiple products after all.

They’re all objectively shit.

Even with Opus in the backend Copilot is so bad compared to Claude code

GitHub copilot within visual studio is not bad actually, if it doesn't find anything to but typos then congrats your team is all competent senior developers...

It does cut down review time for juniors' work, and it's capable of implementing full features given the correct documentation and instructions. It's a useful tool that assists and doesn't replace competent developers.

I don't know, that is about all Mistral can do too.

That and python scipy is like a 50/50 for relevant code snippits.

It had never once output compilable embedded code, even when I have tried to directly lead it there.

Seems to be the worst Ai by far.

Which is weird because isn't ChatGPT supposed to be one of the best (least shitty)? Isn't CoPilot rebranded ChatGPT?

[–] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

The model (sonnet, opus, gpt) is the engine, the framework (copilot, Claude, codex) is the rest of the car

If you put a V8 Hemi in a shitbox, it’s still a shitbox.

Its only core competency is convincing idiot c-suites that they should force their org to use copilot
