GitHub Copilot CLI gets a second-opinion feature built on cross-model review

Coding agents make decisions in sequence: a plan is drafted, implemented, then tested. Any error introduced early compounds as subsequent steps build on the same flawed assumption. Self-reflection is a recognized mitigation technique, and one GitHub Copilot already supports, but a model reviewing its own output is still constrained by the same training data and blind spots that produced it. GitHub addressed that constraint this week with the release of Rubber Duck, a cross-model review … More → The post GitHub Copilot CLI gets a second-opinion feature built on cross-model review appeared first on Help Net Security.
