Github Copilot is a new product created by OpenAI as “Your AI Pair Programmer”. It is a plugin that you install in VSCode and it is simple to use and install. I’ve tested it through the past week and wanted to test it to see how powerful it is, so I went through 3 coding questions on the web that are a set of prepared interview coding questions with it to see how it would perform.

How does GitHub Copilot w ork? Copilot is powered by a deep neural network language model called Codex. Codex is a fine-tuned GPT model trained on top of Github code.

Github Copilot was evaluated on an evaluation set, called HumanEval, created by OpenAI specifically for measuring functional correctness for synthesizing programs from doc-strings. The model solves 28.8% of the problems when tested.

The fact that Copilot is trained on publicly available code, under a variety of licenses, has led to many discussions about its legal implications. We will just analyze it through a technical view of the codebase.
