and they are using OpenAI models, who haven't had a successful training run since Ilya left, GPT 5x is built on GPT 4x, not from scratch aiui
I'm having a blast with gemini-3-flash and a custom copilor replacement extension, it's much more capable than Copilot ever was with any model for me and a personalized dx with deep insights into my usage and what the agentic system is doing under the hood.
can you talk a little more about your replacement extention? I get copilot from my worksplace and id love to know what I can do with it, ive been trying to build some containerized stuff with copilot cli but im worried I have to give it a little more permissions than im comfortable with around git etc
I post a lot about it on Bluesky

The container stuff that backs it is built on Dagger
https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof/tree/_next/examples/env
The entire extension and agent framework is in that repo too
extensions/vscode and lib/agent
I let my agent do whatever because I know exactly what it can and can't do. For example, it can use git, but cannot push, and any git changes are local to its containerized environment and don't get exported back to my filesystem where I do real git work. I could create an envelope where they could push git, and more likely I'll give them something where they can call GitHub ali, that's really more useful anyway
