I actually spoke with one of the people on the team for this the other week.
They have significant money problems. Copilot is expensive as crap to run, and this is about to make the situation 10x worse.
(Also this feature was completely broken a few weeks ago, so I’d be surprised if it launches without a hitch)
Who is “they” here? Microsoft?
I think they’re doing just fine financially.
The particular team is burning money to run Copilot, and this new feature will burn money faster. Microsoft is mega profitable and happy to do this in the short-term, but they’re banking on a better solution in the long run.
I also specifically asked if Copilot was nerfed, and all the employee said was (paraphrasing): “Some people have run benchmarks and found it is worse than a year ago”
