The AI coding craze gave GitHub its best month ever
GitHub reported its best month ever in June due to a surge in usage of its Copilot AI coding tool after changing its billing model from flat-rate to usage-based. The growth comes amid increased competition from tools like Cursor and Anthropic's Claude Code, though GitHub faced outages in 2026 that led to collaboration with Amazon for capacity solutions.
