GitHub migrates Copilot runtime from Node.js/TypeScript to Rust via AI-assisted rewrite

GitHub replaced the runtime powering GitHub Copilot CLI, the Copilot app, and the Copilot SDK by migrating from a TypeScript/Node.js implementation to a native Rust runtime through an AI-assisted rewrite that touched more than 800,000 lines of production code. The incremental 14.5‑week migration (128 pull requests, 135 releases) cut measured client startup/session latency from 5.25 seconds to 292 milliseconds, enables embedding the runtime via a C ABI (reducing ~100 MB per client vs Node/V8), and combined AI-generated implementation with compilation, testing, and human review.

Grok 4.5 becomes available in GitHub Copilot

Grok 4.5, SpaceXAI’s latest coding model, is now available as a selectable model in GitHub Copilot across VSCode and other Copilot products (including cloud agents and the Copilot CLI). For some businesses and enterprises the model must be enabled in Copilot settings; Grok 4.5 is also offered directly via the SpaceXAI console at $2 per million input tokens and $6 per million output tokens.
