I disagree. As someone who just got a new Windows laptop with Copilot baked(forced) in I've tested Copilot a lot.

It. is. so. bad.

It feels like it's at least 1-2 years behind the current top models.

But there isn't a copilot model is there? Just a harnesse, and the vscode copilot extension is pretty good (haven't tried the tui)

Copilot cannot be behind any models because it's a harness, not a model. You can use any of the popular models through it, including Claude models. Though people have been saying that Claude CLI is a better experience.

Your Copilot free offering isn't the Copilot they're using within the company for coding assistant. It's confusing I know.

Copilot is not the same agent as GitHub Copilot.
