I would use it for contributions to open source projects but I do not pay for any AI subscriptions, and I can’t use my employee account for copilot enterprise for non-work projects.
Every week for the last year or so I have been testing various copilot models against customer reported software defects and it’s seriously at a point now where with a single prompt Gemini pro 2.5 is solving the entire defect with unit tests. Some need no changes in review and are good to go.
As an open source maintainer of a large project I have noticed a huge uptick in PRs which has created a larger review workload, I’m almost certain these are due to LLMs. Quality of a typical PR has not decreased since LLMs have become available and I am thus far very glad
If I were to speculate I’d guess the huge increase in context windows has made the tools viable, models like GPT5 are garbage on any sizable code bases
At work, the software is not open source.
