India's rising role in open source

In this exclusive conversation, GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke talks about how GitHub Copilot will reshape the developer landscape and many more topics.

GitHub is pushing forward with a vision for AI-driven tools that fundamentally reframe software development. At the heart of this evolution is Copilot, which offers developers more flexibility and tailored support as they choose from a growing suite of models that meet diverse project needs. According to GitHub’s CEO, Thomas Dohmke, this initiative provides developers with unprecedented agency, enabling them to select the best tools for each project based on performance, company compliance, and their own familiarity with different AI models.

Developers today face a wider range of model choices, each suited to different tasks,” said Dohmke. “Some models excel in speed, while others provide depth for more complex tasks. Multimodal Copilot enables developers to mix and match models, helping both early adopters and enterprises maintain a balance between cutting-edge technology and organisational stability.

Looking Ahead: AI as a Companion, Not a Replacement

While Dohmke is enthusiastic about the ways in which AI can streamline development, he is realistic about its limitations. In the next five years, he expects software development to become “AI native,” with AI-supported workflows and automated coding practices becoming the norm.
