Chart titled "Coding Agent Index vs. Cost per Task" by Artificial Analysis. The chart displays Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index vs. average pay-per-token API cost per task (USD). It compares various agents, including some from Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI, DeepSeek Harness, Grok Build, Opencode, Muse Code, Kimi Code CLI, and GitHub Copilot. The x-axis represents higher cost per task (USD) to lower cost per task (USD), and the y-axis represents the coding agent index. The chart highlights a "Most Attractive Quadrant" in green and uses dots to differentiate agents. Copilot Fusion (max) sits within the most attractive quadrant. Bar chart titled "Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index". Incorporates 3 benchmarks: FrontierCode v1.1, Terminal-Bench 4.0, SWE-Atlas-QnA-AA. A higher scroe denotes higher average intelligence across becnhmarks. Copilot Fusion Max from GitHub Copilot has a score of 60. The chart also includes various coding agents from Claude Code, Devin Fusion CLI, Antigravity CLI, Codex, Grok Build, DeepSeek Harness, Muse Code, Opencode, Antigravity CLI, and Kimi Code CLI, with scores ranging from 62 to 41.

As traffic grew exponentially, we moved 99.99999% of GitHub's Git repos to Azure. A new write path moves the last, busiest repos, keeps cross-region round trips from capping throughput, and enables stateless Azure Blob Storage replicas.
