Multi model support in Github Copilot

Today I want to point out a new feature that was recently introduced in Github Copilot chat; support for multiple large language models. It is now possible to choose between different models so that you can choose the model that aligns best with the needs you have in your specific project.

Models that are supported today are GPT-4o, o1, o1-mini and Claud Sonnet 3.5.

Remark: To be exact, I have to point out that Github Copilot was leveraging multiple LLMs already for different use cases.

Let me show you how this feature works…

VS Code

  • Open Github Copilot Chat inside VSCode


  • Click on the ‘Pick model’ dropdown and select a different model

 

  • That’s it!

Visual Studio

  • Open Github Copilot Chat inside Visual Studio
  • Click on the ‘Pick model’ dropdown and select a different model

 

  • That’s it!

Remark: I noticed that the Claud Sonnet 3.5 model is not yet available inside Visual Studio.

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
