OpenAI o1 on GitHub (Limited Public Preview) Feedback Thread

[2percentsilk]

Starting today, we’re opening a preview to give developers an opportunity to test OpenAI o1-preview and o1-mini, hosted on Azure, in both GitHub Copilot and Models.

Sign up to get access to use OpenAI o1 in GitHub Copilot Chat with Visual Studio Code and in the playground with GitHub Models.

Please leave all feedback and questions below! We can't wait to see what you build 🚀

[ggoonnzzaallo]

I read that you launched o1-preview on GitHub Copilot Chat, but you actually launched a waitlist?

[novium2]

The wording is a bit ambiguous, isn't it? It's an opportunity to sign up for early access. You can read more here: changelog

[ggoonnzzaallo]

Still a good thing that the Copilot team is putting resources into keeping up with the latest models. I wonder if there will be new features enabled by o1 other than Chat

[cockscomb]

I received an email “You now have access to OpenAI o1 models on GitHub!” However, the “Please share any feedback with us on Discussions” link in the email redirects to example.com. The redirect destination might be incorrect.

[cockscomb]

I have confirmed that it has been fixed.

[novium2]

Thanks so much!

[ik-labs]

Isn't the waitlist available for individual paying customers? i get an error message saying You must select an enterprise or organization to join the waitlist?

[2percentsilk]

If you are a Copilot Individual user, you should be able to sign up for the waitlist for yourself. However, if you receive a Copilot Business or Enterprise license, you need to nominate the organization for access.

[aamir-allaq]

How do I nominate the organization for access? I literally just see 1 button to join the waitlist.

[Jerry-hyl]

Same. How can individual users have access to it?

[fn5]

Hooray! Excited to try it out within Copilot.

[Azeem075]

Yes

[Moulick]

During this beta, you'll be able to experiment with the o1 models via GitHub Models, as well as Copilot Chat in Visual Studio Code with the new model selector.

Does anyone have a screenshot of where this model selector in Chat is supposed to be?

[novium2]

Stay tuned! More updates on the way.

[amankrokx]

I was wondering the same as I couldn't find the selector for o1 even in copilot chat pre prelease with vs code insiders

[arojoal]

I have received the email confirming that I have been given access to o1, I have installed latest version of VS code Studio Insiders and pre-release version of copilot chat and I can't find the Model Selector. Where is it?

[tsoernes]

What are the usage limits for the o1 models?

[AESMatias]

Hello @tsoernes, you can see it here (https://github.com/marketplace/models/azure-openai/gpt-4o):

The rate limits of the plans: https://docs.github.com/en/github-models/prototyping-with-ai-models#rate-limits

[ggoonnzzaallo]

Wow so we get 12 o1 requests per day? that's more limited than ChatGPT

[cyoungberg]

I got the email saying I have access now... but how do I select the model? I made sure I'm up-to-date on the extensions, and I enabled the pre-release version of co-pilot chat. But not seeing any options?

[cyoungberg]

ahh, sounds like someone jumped the gun before everything was ready maybe?

[fn5]

Haven't got an email, but checking, are you using VS Code Insiders as well?
I just tried to find where it said this...and I did.

Edit:
https://github.blog/changelog/2024-09-19-sign-up-for-openai-o1-access-on-github/

[cyoungberg]

Oop, I wasn't. Tried that now tho, and still no joy

[ggoonnzzaallo]

I think the model selection dropdown might be featured flag and we don't all have access to it yet?

Using a VS Code extension double.bot to get access to o1-preview right now, it's nice because there's no rate limits

[arojoal]

Hello there,thanks for sharing

[sirusbaladi]

got in the waiting list, would love to get access if possible!

[Vikranth3140]

thanks for this :)

[Anselmoo]

@2percentsilk should also provide feedback in this thread, or will it be a separate discussion?
thx for feedback

[novium2]

Feedback in this thread is very welcome. Let us know what you think.

[2percentsilk]

Please feel free to provide feedback here :)

[Anselmoo]

What definitely improves is the length of the output provided and keeping comments, aka, docstrings, with it if you explicitly ask for them. It is still a little strange why both models are cropping docstrings in default mode.

[Anselmoo]

One thing that often shows up is that the GPT-4 model copies the answers from o1-preview, while if the GPT-4 is used first, the o1-preview still delivers solutions in a different pedagogical format.

o1-preview-mode

Explains the way of the proposed refactor strategy:

gpt4-mode without previous o1-preview-run

and with the previous run of o1-preview, the results are identical.

P.S. @2percentsilk and @novium2, is there a preferred format for how content should be posted; I am happy to learn

[ahmadziahidary]

Security issues

[LIHUA919]

that's cool

[lcx-0504]

Sometimes I have needs to read some document and diagram. Is it possible for GitHub Copilot to support image and documents, as well as ability of online search?

[ahmadziahidary]

Any help will be greatly appreciated

[Anselmoo]

Introduction

The attached files of the current workspace seem to work for both vscode and vscode-insiders.

Used reference: https://github.com/Anselmoo/spectrafit/blob/main/spectrafit/plugins/notebook.py

Step 1: Open the file

Step 2: Selecting the corresponding file

Step 3: Define the task

Step 4: Enjoy

@lcx-0504 is that what you are looking for?

P.S. It also works just by adding links into the prompt, and it will detect it.

[lcx-0504]

I know that I can attach files to chat. However, it seems that it only works for code files and text files. When I attach images or pdfs to copilot, it totally cannot understand it, and it seems to read it as "text" but not a file. Sometimes my colleagues send pdf or image or docx as description of function needed and I really don't want to copy every text to input box. So, it would be better for copilot to support those files? 😂 @Anselmoo

[Anselmoo]

Sorry, I didn't understand at first, but now I get your point, and Copilot does too.

Note

It appears that you are referring to an image file named image.png. However, as a text-based AI, I cannot view or interpret images directly. If you can describe the content of the image or provide any relevant text or context from the image, I would be happy to help you understand or resolve any issues related to it.

[lcx-0504]

Yeah. That's just what I want say. I do hope image & dock & PDF could be support by Copilot. That could be really useful😊

[ahmadziahidary]

Problem I’m suffering is the devices with full access to my accounts ex MAC OC and Android many more which are directly and indirectly connected to my accounts gmails Apple ID social media accounts etc . Please help me with that . ZiaHidary.$$$

i faced a problem with the preview extension that some times i need to reload the window of vs in order to be able to use copilot
also some times i send him and prompt and it start to think and after a while it did not return any answer

[ohofherr]

I signed up for o1 in GitHub Copilot last week and hope that we will get access soon.

Is it somewhere in the GitHub Organization visible when the access has been granted? I'm a little bit worried that the confirmation email could be filtered as spam.

[nikzan]

I received a letter that I was granted access to participate in the limited beta, but I still can't use the o1 model, they say I still need to sign up for the waiting list. Maybe someone has encountered something similar?

[thispaul]

The GitHub Models feature and o1 model access are two separate beta waitlists, sorry for the confusion.
Please sign up for the o1 waitlist here: https://github.com/o1-waitlist-signup

[nikzan]

Thank you for the explanation!

[Anselmoo]

It would be cool if OpenA1 is also available as an inline prompt for the Jupyter extension so Jupyter cells can be updated faster and, in my opinion, safer instead of jumping between cell and chat windows.

Otherwise, I can say that using OpenA1 in combination with Jupyter really helps a lot with post-structuring data cleaning and ensuring consistency by following the provided explanations.

[binaryfire]

Do we know when o1-preview will go GA for Copilot and if there will be any limits? I've been trialling Cursor and it's light years ahead in terms of models and AI features. Copilot is almost unusable for me after experiencing Claude 3.5 Sonnet in Cursor. I'm hoping o1 bridges the gap.

[ohofherr]

Seems like GitHub Copilot is no longer no1

[cmp-nct]

For anything that is not extremely trivial, only o1-preview has given me good responses.
The other models are, frankly, trash for development.
However, they are very good for repetitive auto-completion.

[Anselmoo]

@cmp-nct, can you please provide a few more details about the repetitive auto-completion? I'm curious to know more.

For me, o1-preview is a big help, especially for refactoring, because it explains the idea behind it in detail. One thing that I recently observed is that sometimes, the files are not accurately separated.

Everything goes into one file ...

[clover-yan]

Do we have a rate limit for o1 series models?

[zseirafi]

Hi, we signed up codewrx enterprise for the waitlist to fine tune models. Would love to get access soon. thanks

[staytuned-gh]

@2percentsilk We are facing a limit while using o1 model, any solution? And this is happening everyday...Please help

[tp-midud]

Can we have this for neovim/vim as well?
