Question

A compliance officer at a company using GitHub Copilot Business asks you to explain what happens to the source code snippets sent as prompt context when a developer receives an inline completion. She specifically wants to know how the code is handled server-side after a suggestion is generated. Which statement most accurately describes the data flow for a Copilot Business subscription?

Accepted Answer

The prompt context is transmitted to the model, used transiently to generate the suggestion, and discarded without being retained or used to train the foundation model.

Answer

The prompt context is stored server-side for 30 days so the model can maintain conversational memory across the developer's editing session.

Answer

The prompt context is retained indefinitely and automatically added to the foundation model's training corpus to improve future suggestions for all users.

Answer

The prompt context is stored only if the developer accepts the suggestion, after which it is used to fine-tune an organization-specific model.
