   Does anyone have any good experiences with copilot? I have never heard anyone say anything good about it.

      Yes, with Enterprise M365 Copilot.

      Select "GPT 5.6 Think deeper" (ugh, so unrevealing, MS) and you've got free, unlimited Sol or Terra (likely a mix depending on load) on tap.

      It writes very nice, clean code with almost no comments.

      I use it a lot.

         For me it regularly gives garbled code with random *s and ;s everywhere. I don't get how supposedly frontier models can be made so useless

            This has happened to me, but only a couple of times. I think it’s an issue with the UI, not with the actual LLM output, and a reload of the page fixes it.

            I think it’s related to how they display the LLM output, through some obfuscation layer in the HTML presented to the browser. I tried to save a thread as pdf once and that got me nowhere because of this.
