Summary
GitHub Copilot has launched a new experimental feature called 'Rubber Duck' in its CLI tool. This feature uses a second AI model from a different family to review plans, implementations, and tests before the agent proceeds, aiming to catch architectural mistakes, edge cases, and cross-file issues earlier. GitHub Copilot is an AI pair programmer that works directly in code editors, suggesting lines or entire functions, powered by OpenAI and trained on billions of lines of public code.
