Github gives Copilot Pro to open source maintainers but they don't really tell you what the requirements are.
I have it and I just get a notification every month that it's been renewed and I never even applied for it.
I assume it's a combination of activity on github and popularity of your repositories.
I work for a commercial open source company, working on the open source product. I applied for it way back in the day and got it, and i still get the emails every month saying that they renewed my free grant.
This is all despite the company also paying for Github Copilot.
I mean, there's also the whole GitHub free tier. It used to only be for public repos, so mostly OSS plus "shared source", but now they allow it for private as well. But it still costs them money to host your code and provide CI minutes.
But a lot of what I work on is my classes giving me less time to open source nowadays, but I have also worked in implementing and mashing new Papers coming out in Robotics. Anyone who wants to talk more should please connect!
Any reason for using a transformer architecture?
You look at https://olmocr.allenai.org/ which does the best handwritten-to-latex in my opinion also does use VLM.
Also maybe xD not use LLMs to generate your HN description.
I am still yet able to find an LLM which can understand it has to look for files and change config after an error, they have no understanding of when to comment things out and work. To be fair it can make websites, algorithms , copy things nicely but that's about it.
Another tool in the box. import pdb is my way still
