Microsoft has blocked its own engineers from accessing Anthropic's new Claude Fable 5 AI model due to its data retention policies, while still offering it to customers. The model's 30-day data hold conflicts with Microsoft's Zero Data Retention (ZDR) rules for internal use.
Microsoft's legal departments are assessing recent modifications made by Anthropic concerning their data retention practices. The evaluation is ongoing.
GitHub's new pricing for Copilot, introduced June 1, has drawn widespread criticism on social media. The revised system offers credits with plans, charging for usage beyond the credit limit, which users find depletes too quickly, impacting business operations and prompting consideration of alternative tools.
Microsoft is ending most internal Claude Code licenses by June 30, urging engineers to use its own GitHub Copilot CLI. The move, attributed to cost-cutting and toolchain unification, follows Claude Code's unexpected popularity among employees, which reportedly undercut Microsoft's homegrown product. While Claude models remain accessible via Copilot CLI, the experimental phase of free access is over.
GitHub Copilot users are experiencing significant cost increases with the new usage-based AI credit system. Many report quickly depleting monthly allotments, with some using up a month's quota in less than a day, leading to potential thousands in bills and prompting users to consider alternatives.
Microsoft is changing Github Copilot's billing from a flat rate to a token-usage system, effective June 1, which may significantly increase costs for smaller users, prompting widespread criticism and concerns about affordability.
Microsoft is phasing out Claude Code in favor of GitHub Copilot CLI for its developers, citing financial and convergence reasons. Additionally, Windows 11 is testing a 'Low Latency Profile' for speed boosts, Discord offers a free Xbox Game Pass starter edition, and more tech news.

GitHub announced it will transition GitHub Copilot to a usage-based billing model starting June 1, replacing the current flat subscription allocation system with AI Credits tied to monthly payments. The change comes as inference costs have nearly doubled since January, driven by agentic AI assistants consuming massive token volumes. Additional usage beyond credits will be priced based on token consumption at varying API rates depending on model sophistication.
GitHub stellt Copilot ab Juni 2026 auf verbrauchsbasiertes Pricing um. Ein Credit kostet 0,01 Dollar, wobei leistungsstärkere Modelle mehr Credits pro Token benötigen. Eine Million Output-Token kosten zwischen 1,25 Dollar (GPT-5.4 nano) und 30 Dollar (GPT-5.5). Der kostenlose Fallback auf einfache Modelle entfällt.
Microsoft hat die Registrierung für GitHub Copilot für Neukunden pausiert. Betroffen sind die Tarife Pro, Pro+ und Student. Das Unternehmen verschärft gleichzeitig Tokenlimits und entfernt Claude Opus 4.5 und 4.6 aus dem Pro+-Tarif. Hintergrund ist ein unerwartet hoher Bedarf an Rechenleistung durch KI-Agenten. Die kostenfreie Stufe und Enterprise-Abonnements bleiben unberührt.
