📣 @MicrosoftAI's MAI-Code-1.1-Flash is now rolling out in GitHub Copilot. ➡️ It

Microsoft's MAI-Code-1.1-Flash, the successor to MAI-Code-1-Flash, has native image understanding and a list price 73% lower, according to GitHub's August 11 changelog. It is rolling out in the GitHub Copilot app, command-line tool and VS Code.
