An open source, downloadable and fine-tunable github copilot openai codex model that I can use locally and offline, if I wanted to.

So far I can't rely on copilot because at any time for any reason they can cut off access or change the functionality. Also, the waitlist.

A requirement of the GPL is that they are supposed to release the model but so far I have been unable to find it. There's some kind of "debate" about this but the GPL is absolutely clear in this regard. I'm confused.

copilot is awesome for (lazy) senior devs who want the no-code experience, meaning not having to look up easily forgettable things. How many times have you've forgotten RegEx or how to check for a file exists in bash? Simple put "#Check if file 'filename.txt' exists if not error" and it will complete the bash line. Convert dates in javascript without going to the mdn docs, etc.
