Any plans to use Github Copilot (NOW AVAILABLE)
I know you support GPT Turbo 3.5, but many times (surprisingly I know) I get better results using Github Copilot. Any reason you've decided not to support it?

LINQPad also supports the latest GPT models including gpt-4o. Go to AI Settings and select a newer model from the combo - this should improve the results.
-
I think the built-in AI feature in LINQPad 8 is quite amazing. I use it very often, paired with GPT-4o, the effect is very good!
-
I use it with 4o-mini and it works great and it's a bit cheaper too. 4o is supposed to be better though.
-
could this be added to linqpad?

I've got a Github Copilot subscription through my work, would be awesome if I could utilize it here. Everywhere I've seen references to adding copilot to some application, they use openapi terms. Maybe I'm just confused on how to configure it. Is Copilot supported?
-
Copilot is not supported at this stage. I'll be reviewing this in the coming months. Are you not getting good results with GPT-4.1?
-
TBH, I haven't looked into getting a subscription for myself personally, with any of the LLMs. Copilot is the closest I've got and was hoping it would be usable.
-
Getting an OpenAI account is easy. There's no monthly subscription - it's automatic prepaid top-up based on use, which ends up being very cheap.
LINQPad also supports OpenRouter (see Help | What's New for details). This lets you select any model, so you can switch to Sonnet or Gemini, for instance, without creating a new account.
-
I already pay for github copilot in VS. Would be fine if I could use this service in LP without having to pay a second time for an equivalent service
-
You're looking at maybe a few dollars a month in usage fees - or much less still with Grok Code Fast 1. The latter charges $1 for 5 million input tokens, and is the most popular programming model right now on OpenRouter. Is that really a deal-breaker?
-
I hear your arguments. I'll try.
Anyway, I already bought linqpad 9. So the deal is done betwen you and me -
+1 to supporting the various models through GitHub Copilot.
OpenCode.ai has a similar feature where it can use the various models through your Copilot subscription.
No, it's a dealbreaker to keep a few dollars in API credits handy but also would be handy to keep things primarily in one subscription.
-
In my case, my company only allows the use of Copilot because of privacy concerns. They pay it for all of us to use in Visual Studio & VSCode (and I can also use it in DBeaver as it supports it) All other AI sites and platforms are blocked.
-
A feature request has been registered for this that you can vote on here:
-
The latest beta (9.7.8) has Copilot integration.
You can use most of the latest models, including Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.6 and GPT 5.4 for the AI agent and chat, and GPT 4.1 for completion.
Please give this a through test and let me know how you get along!

Hi Joe. I tried to hook up Linqpad to Github Copilot this morning.
I got this error:
An error occurred processing the request.
You are not authorized to use this Copilot feature, it requires an enterprise or organization policy to be enabled.
During the signin process, after having clicked thru and associated with my Github account, I got a similar message in an IOException box which I submitted. I don't have extra information as to what information it's asking Github Copilot for.
Likely this is some weird setting in Github I have to go tell the 'powers that be' we need to turn on to fix this, but without more information, I can't tell what setting that is.
Thanks for getting this out though, this is a huge boon to my org who primarily uses GHCP and has all the other AI tools blocked (sigh).

Thanks Joe! Looks like it's working for me. 🎉
