Today, we announced the next step in the Project HydraFusion vision: local models and intelligent routing for GitHub Copilot on Windows.
@cinnamon_msft shows what this can mean for your everyday coding workflows.
📣 Coming soon to GitHub Copilot: intelligent local model routing.
We are excited to announce the next step in our Project HydraFusion vision. GitHub Copilot will soon be able to automatically route tasks to a local model when it's most suitable, helping you save on AI credits.
