About this tag
The ai billing tag covers reporting and discussion about the costs, policies, and model choices behind AI coding tools. It includes Microsoft’s internal direction for CoreAI employees to use OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 Sol in GitHub Copilot, along with the distinction between an internal efficiency policy and a customer-facing Copilot default.
