GitHub has updated its policy on Copilot model access for users with seats in multiple organizations. Now, model access is determined solely by the organization that pays for the user's usage, rather than any organization enabling it. This change aims to align billing and governance more effectively. Users can check which organization is responsible for billing under the 'Usage billed to' section on the Copilot features page. The update does not affect users whose access is through an enterprise or its organizations.

This legal setback confirms that AI infrastructure operators cannot bypass environmental permitting by classifying heavy industrial equipment as temporary or mobile. The ruling forces xAI to face scrutiny over air quality impacts at its Colossus data center, setting a precedent for how large-scale compute facilities are regulated under existing environmental laws.

The company has lowered its fundraising target from $30 billion to $20 billion, with only $11 billion secured so far against a valuation that has dropped from $1.4 trillion. This retreat signals a growing wariness among Wall Street investors regarding the capital intensity of the AI race, forcing even the most dominant players to adjust their financial expectations.
