GPT-5 is already here, so I can say it now… This thing is a BEAST for coding with GitHub Copilot + C# 💜 Top 2 for sure!😎( IMHO ) #dotnet #GitHubCopilot #GPT5

Time to test the limits of GPT-5! 🚀 Building a next-gen eShopLite search with NLWeb, .NET 9, and Aspire 9.4 orchestration. Can Copilot handle this one? 🤔 #dotnet #GPT5 #NLWeb #Aspire #AI #eShopLite

It’s always a great day when the whole thing works in just 5 lines of code 😎 Adding a local TextToImagePipeline in #TransformersSharp is surprisingly easy and fun! Prompt: “A pixelated image of a beaver in Canada” 👇 #dotnet #CSharp #AI #HuggingFace #ML

AI-generated pixelated image of a beaver standing on a rock by a lake, surrounded by pine trees and mountains under a cloudy sky. The style is retro and pixel-art inspired, with bold color blocks and reflections in the water.

C# code snippet using the TransformersSharp.Pipelines library to create a TextToImagePipeline with the Kandinsky 2.2 decoder model. The prompt is "A pixelated image of a beaver in Canada", and the generated image is saved as "image.png". The code is clean, concise, and fits within 5 lines.

Home office update: • Lighting ✅ • Peace ✅ • Pants ❌ #WorkFromHome

peaceful evening scene showing a backyard pool with string lights glowing along a garden fence. The sky is a deep blue at dusk, and a line of evenly spaced bright dots—likely Starlink satellites—stretches across the sky. Trees surround the yard, and the pool reflects the lights and foliage, creating a serene, cozy atmosphere.

US holiday = time to catch up from #MSBuild! Morning: 1️⃣ Copilot Coding Agent upgraded the .NET Generative AI demos to Microsoft.Extensions.AI 9.5.0 2️⃣ I updated eShopLite MCP to use Aspire 9.3 + Azure AI Foundry SDK Bonus: Copilot now explains Aspire traces like magic ✨🤖 #dotnet #GitHubCopilot #AI

Screenshot of the .NET Aspire dashboard showing a distributed trace of a GET /search request in an eShop application. On the right side, GitHub Copilot explains the trace with a breakdown of the error: a connection error when trying to fetch a token from Azure Instance Metadata Service. The interface highlights the trace duration, spans, and resource usage, with Copilot providing a natural language summary of the error’s cause and impact.

Screenshot of a GitHub pull request titled “Update Microsoft.Extensions.AI to version 9.5.0.” The PR includes updates to documentation files and project files (.csproj) to use the latest version of several Microsoft.Extensions.AI packages, such as OpenAI, AzureAIInference, and Ollama. The comment section shows the Copilot AI suggesting the update. The PR was merged by elbruno.
