GitHub unveils AI coding assistant for Visual Studio Code
GitHub has launched a preview of GitHub Copilot, an AI-based coding assitant for Visual Studio Code that suggests lines of code or functions as you type.Built in collaboration with OpenAI, GitHub Copilot draws context from the developer’s code, suggesting lines or entire functions while helping to find alternative ways to solve problems, write tests, and explore new APIs without the need to search for answers on the Internet.[ Also on InfoWorld: The best programming language to learn now ] Introduced June 29, GitHub Copilot adapts to how the user writes code, helping complete work faster. Trained on billions of lines of public code, the tool is powered by OpenAI Codex, an AI system that is more capable than the GPT-3 (Generative Pretrained Transformer) language model in code generation, GitHub said.To read this article in full, please click here
