Baidu Announces Limited Free Trial for AI Programming Tool Comate SaaS Version


Microsoft's GitHub announced on April 28, 2026, that the AI programming tool Copilot will change from a fixed quota subscription model to a pay-as-you-go pricing model starting June 1. It will introduce the "GitHub AI Credits" credit system.
