GitHub Enterprise now includes access to GitHub Copilot for all licensed users, replacing the previous model where Copilot required separate seat-based subscriptions. The new structure utilizes a shared enterprise budget for AI usage, with code completion remaining available even after the budget is exhausted, while features like Chat and Code Review require available credits. Self-serve availability is rolling out in stages, while existing Copilot Business and Enterprise plans remain unaffected. This integration aims to streamline procurement by treating AI access as part of the core platform rather than a distinct product line.
