In general Copilot is much weaker than bigger/slower models, so if you have the feeling you are not using AI enough, the first thing to try IMHO is to chat with powerful models like GPT4 to see what is the current state of art in code generation.
Thank you for the suggestion, antirez! Unfortunately that option does cost money (Copilot is free for students), although Bing might be an alright alternative.
Indeed, you are right. If you have an M[1,2,3] MacBook with enough RAM, you may want to run some model like DeepSeek-coder 34B in local. Or the smaller one, but it is going to be weaker.
