The biggest issue with Copilot might not be the model itself, but the naming strategy. One name is used for several completely different products, and users end up totally confused. You think you're using GitHub Copilot, but it's actually M365 Copilot, and you don't even get to choose the model. Microsoft really needs to make this clearer.

For some reason I had also gotten the impression that Copilot was powered by OpenAI in some way. Perhaps the Microsoft OpenAI partnership gave me that impression.

I also wasn't aware that there where an OpenAI/Microsoft rivalry, I had the impression that Microsoft put a lot of money into OpenAI and that ChatGPT ran on Azure, or was at least available as an offering via Azure.

Copilot is powered by a Microsoft-hosted version of OpenAI's models. If you ask it, it says "I'm based on GPT-4, a large language model developed by OpenAI. Specifically, you're chatting with Microsoft Copilot, which integrates GPT-4 with additional tools and capabilities like web browsing, image understanding, and code execution to help with a wide range of tasks."

OpenAI's models are also available via Azure.
