With the help of Copilot’s AI-powered code suggestions, developers can write, test, and optimise code faster on Arm and by integrating Arm tools into GitHub Actions, developers can streamline tasks across applications, from cloud-native web applications to AI solutions, all while lowering costs and increasing productivity.
“This partnership empowers the 20 million developers building on Arm today to harness the full potential of the world’s most pervasive compute platform and the world’s largest developer platform to make development faster, easier, and more efficient,” said Alex Spinelli, SVP, AI and Developer Platforms and Services, Arm.
Soon to be available as part of the GitHub Marketplace, the Arm Extension for GitHub Copilot will help developers build, test, and deploy software more efficiently. The extension, integrated with curated datasets, will offer specialised tools for AI code development such as code migration, containerization, CI/CD workflows, and performance optimisation, ensuring a more seamless cloud to edge deployment experience.
Earlier this year, GitHub announced the general availability of Arm64 Linux and Windows Native Arm runners for GitHub Actions. Available to customers on GitHub’s Team and Enterprise Cloud plans, these runners streamline development, reduce costs, and boost speed. Arm64 runners also improve efficiency for AI pipelines with popular frameworks like PyTorch.
According to Spinelli, “Our long-term vision is to enable developers to seamlessly deploy, test, and optimise their applications across the entire surface area of their applications, end-to-end, reliably and safely from the biggest cloud solutions to the smallest sensors.”
