M$ is changing the billing model and /r/GithubCopilot isn't very happy about it.

This post is https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1tbfkui/ill_just_leave_this_here/ but there are a lot like it.

Kimi K2, Deepseek 4, Qwen have been pretty good and very cheap.

While Claude may be somewhat better, it's not worth it.

The problem here seems to me mostly just how many tokens Copilot consumes. Deepseek pro is maybe 10x cheaper per token.

(edit: correction appearantly some of the models cost 6 credits per token and the credits are like 10x more expensive than deepseek pro tokens. This might still not be correct, it's pretty complicated and I honestly don't care enough to actually to die diligence since I don't use it)
