← Back to context Comment by zmmmmm 8 hours ago Can anybody validate this Github Copilot trick for accessign Opus 4.6? Sounds too good to be true. 5 comments zmmmmm Reply specproc 8 hours ago I'm not what I'd call a heavy user, but I've also mainly been using Copilot in VS Code on the basic sub.You do get Opus 4.6, and it's really affordable. I usually go over my limits, but I'm yet to spend more than 5 USD on the surcharges.Not seen a reason to switch, but YMMV depending on what you're doing and how you work. brushfoot 6 hours ago Longtime happy Copilot user here. It's true.The pricing is so good that it's the only way I do agentic coding now. I've never spent more than $40 in a month on Opus, and I give it large specs to work on. I usually spend $20 or so. nesk_ 7 hours ago It is true, it's the official pricing of GitHub Copilot. rzzzt 6 hours ago Why is GitHub sticking to per-request pricing when other providers switched to per-token for the high performing models? sumedh 3 hours ago Maybe MS wants people to use Co Pilot.
