GitHub announced new AI tools at Universe 2024, including multi-model support for Copilot and the launch of GitHub Spark. These updates aim to give developers more choices and make coding easier through natural language prompts. Copilot now allows developers to select from various advanced models, including Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Google’s Gemini 1.5 Pro. GitHub Spark enables users to create micro-applications without needing to manage cloud resources, targeting a broader audience.

It also noted a 98% increase in public generative AI projects and growth in contributions from regions like Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
